Abstract
This is to give the general survey of the social structure of the Kingdom of Ugarit analysed by all the texts of PRU II, III, IV, V, inscribed on clay tablets excavated in Ras Shamra.
In a sense their social structures observed in both of the Alalakh texts and the Pylos texts show us the same oriental despotism as in the texts of Ras Shamra, however, we notice that more developed or larger scaled trades of Ugarit Kingdom with the many peoples distributed from Mesopotamia, Egypt, Anatolia even to the Aegean which we observe in each part of the social structures characterizes the Kingdom of Ugarit.
