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. When viewed in conjunction, the archaeological and linguistic material uncovered in this study serves to enhance our understanding of the historical complexity and diversity of the Middle Bronze Age period of international relations at the site of Ugarit.With a deft hand, Dr. Buck pursues a nuanced view of populations in the Bronze Age Levant, with the objective of understanding the ancient polity of Ugarit as a kin-based culture that shares close ties with the Amorite populations of the Levant."The author covers a contentious area of scholarship with confidence and competence, and has produced a convincing case for the Amorite origins of Bronze Age Ugarit."-Nick Wyatt, Journal for the Study of the Old Testament 44.5 (2020)The Studies in the Archaeology and History of the Levant series publishes volumes from the Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East.

“At every stage, the discussion gives a full account of scholarship on all the main points of controversy, and recognises the limitations of our knowledge so far. The study concludes with two appendices, a list of Amorite personal names, and an Amorite lexicon. The author covers a contentious area of scholarship with confidence and competence, and has produced a convincing case for the Amorite origins of Bronze Age Ugarit.” - Nick Wyatt, in Society for Old Testament Study Book List 2020
