Ships, shipping, ancient Near East
Mesopotamia has produced little iconographic or artifactual evidence for perhaps its most indispensable technology.
Trade, ancient Near East
Trade encompasses a spectrum of economic activities, including reciprocal gifting, barter, redistribution, buying and selling, capitalistic or profit‐driven trade, mercantilism, and various combinations of these ideal‐types.
Markets, ancient Near East
While cuneiform records preserve Sumerian and Akkadian words for “marketplace,” the meaning of market in Preclassical contexts is a more complex problem than identifying a physical space.

Markets, ancient Near East
While cuneiform records preserve Sumerian and Akkadian words for “marketplace” (Sumerian, K I ‐ L A M and G A N ‐ B A; Akkadian, mahīrum ), archaeological evidence for corresponding structures or urban areas is lacking in the Bronze and Iron Ages.
Sunk Costs at Late Bronze Age Uluburun
This study gauges the economic loss represented by the 14th-century B.C.E. shipwreck at Uluburun, Turkey. Textual evidence for commodity values are used to calculate a minimum cost for the main cargoes and ship. Values are converted to silver shekels of Ugarit's standard. The approximate sum of 12,000 shekels is contextualized by contemporaneous indicators found in Akkadian and Ugaritic business documents, treaties, decrees, Hittite laws, and Ram…
Seeing the World
Vessel Volumetrics and the Myth of the Cyclopean Bronze Age Ship
The largest seagoing sailed merchantmen in the Mediterranean and Gulf during the Bronze Age (c. 3000-1150 BC) were probably not much larger than the ship that wrecked at Uluburun—about 20 tons capacity and 16 meters long. A 13th c. letter from Ugarit, long interpreted as indicative of much larger ships, is reinterpreted in the context of available texts, archaeology, and iconography. Available iconographical evidence points toward a 20 meter maxi…
The House of the Father as Fact and Symbol
The first two volumes on patrimonialism in Ugarit and the ancient Near East, this book opens with a lengthy introduction on the interpretation of social action and households in the ancient world. Following this foundation, Schloen embarks on a societal and domestic study of the Late Bronze Age kingdom of Ugarit in its wider Near Eastern context
