Preparation Steps
The tablets were stored in specific archival areas within the house. Locus 2135 on the lower floor contained niches in the wall and little holes used for fixing wooden shelves to store the records (p. 25). Other tablets were likely stored on an upper floor before falling to the lower level during the final destruction of the city (p. 25).

Evidence
"Archaeologists first observed the presence of clay tablet fragments around an abandoned bunker of the Syrian army"
Remarks
The archive dates from the middle of the 13th century to the beginning of the 12th century BC (p. 25). The documents found include diplomatic and private letters, administrative lists, and scholarly works, primarily written in Akkadian, though Ugaritic and Cypro-Minoan texts are also present (p. 23-24).
