Abstract

Among the finds made by the Italian Archaeological Mission in Syria during its 1975 Campaign at Tell Mardikh after their 11 years' travail were found out in the Level of 24-23 century B. C. 15000 tablets to which they welcomed dancing for joy. Any text of all these tablets had not been published and still not available at the moment of this having been, writen but the very mentions of Paolo Matthiae, director of the Mission and G. Pettinato, a scholar of Sumerian language were sufficient to convince that the Mission has definitively proved the idintity of Ebla with Tell Mardikh in spite of a long dispute about the location of Ebla.<br>Thought many details can be clarified only by the study of the complete texts, thanks to the general reports of the tablets by the Italian Mission, a long argument on the location of mat Uršu or URU Uršu appeared in many ancient tablets and inscriptions in parallel with Ebla could have a good answer.<br>mat Uršu in its prosperous days should be located north of Syria, bordered on Maras, Gaziantep, Birecik and the eastern slopes of Mt. Amzanus.
