Reviews

'The author successfully combines the textual evidence with archaeological sources and he provides a fitting hypothesis on the origin of the Amorite identities and how they evolved over a long stretch of time. Future studies on the Amorites will have to engage with this book and the ideas therein.' Rients de Boer, Bibliotheca Orientalis
