The article offers new insights on archival management at Ebla (Syria, ca. 2350 BCE), approaching the subject from the point of view of complexity studies, data mining and palaeo-archivistics. The study challenges current ideas, in that it demonstrates that ancient archival procedures were certainly complex, but not complicated, in the sense that a small amount of rules allowed ease of access to information, storage, and transmission of cultural memory within the local cultural environment.

Abstract
The article offers new insights on archival management at Ebla (Syria, ca. 2350 BCE), approaching the subject from the point of view of complexity studies, data mining and palaeo-archivistics. The study challenges current ideas, in that it demonstrates that ancient archival procedures were certainly complex, but not complicated, in the sense that a small amount of rules allowed ease of access to information, storage, and transmission of cultural memory within the local cultural environment.
