Situated at the juncture of the region’s land and water routes Emar (Meskene) was a vital crossroads for trade, east-west relations, and travel by water to Babylon, Mari, and the lands of the Hittites. The city of Emar did not play an extraordinary political role, but from the third millennium it was one of the principal elements in the system that dominated the economic life.
With numerous samples from Early and Late Bronze Age contexts the development of the economy and environment will be investigated.
