Modern Excavations at Ebla

Excavations continue at Ebla to this day. The main focus of the research now is two-fold. The first is to conserve what has been excavated in the past four decades and the second is to open up areas of the city's domestic quarters so that we might obtain a balanced view of life in the ancient city (since excataion in the past concentrated on uncovering palaces and temples - not the homes of ordinary people).
