Abstract
The article discusses two female figurines and a cuneiform tablet discovered by archaeologists at the Bronze Age site of Ebla in northern Syria. The figurines confirm textual evidence of a royal cult of the dead focused on the city's queens. The tablet accounted for weapons distributed from Ebla to allied cities during a war sometime before 2300 B.C.
