Abstract
Prior to its excavation in the mid-seventies, only the archives of Mari, Nuzi, and Ugarit intimated the existence of the Syrian city of Emar. The fabulous discoveries at its site, Tell Meskéné at a crucial crossroads on the southern bank of the Euphrates, still remain less well known than others. The substantial legacy of Emar includes hundreds of cuneiform documents, major architectural edifices, as well as private homes, personal archives, and a wealth of material culture. The Late Bronze Age history of the site details the nature of the relations between the Hittite power and an old North Syrian city. Yet the site at Tell Meskéné is a completely new city. The earlier Emar of the second mellenium city-state archives is gone mysterioiusly without a trace.
