Wikipedia, "Ugarit"

Wikipedia, accessed 2026

A community-maintained tertiary reference on Ugarit, directly examined. Its strength is a precise destruction date bracketing the whole surviving textual corpus and a named excavator with a named excavation year; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a Ugaritic-studies monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.
