The Amorite dynasty of Ugarit : historical implications of linguistic and archaeological parallels /

"In The Amorite Dynasty of Ugarit Mary Buck takes a new approach to the field of Amorite studies by considering whether the site of Ugarit shares close parallels with other sites and cultures known from the Bronze Age Levant.
