Introduction

Historical development of the Grammar
Introductory

Giorgio Buccellati – January 2025

    The Grammar as presented in this website is at the confluence of several strands of research, which have come to be realized over the years in a series of articles and presentations, while the pure theoretical aspect has been fully developed in the 2017 book A Critique of the Archaeological Record

    The broader framework within which this research developed is illustrated in the Cybernetica Mesopotamica website, with a section specificqally devoted to archaeology.

    Here, I will review those aspects and moments that affected the formation of the theoretical grammatical scaffoding on which the UGR ultimately depends, ginving extended excerpts relating specifically to the concept of grammar..
