The Grammar of the Archaeological Record provides the full framework within which the Urkesh Global Record is to be understood. It consists of three distinct volumes, of which the second and third are given in digital format as part of this website.
- Theory: an extensive monograph to be published separately in book form.
- System: the full categorization that is applied to the data throughout the UGR.
- Manual: operational procedures for data entry and for running the programs.
A list of shortcuts provides quick access to some of the portions of the Grammar that are more frequently in demand. These shortcuts include topics that are tangentially relevant to the Grammar proper, such as the codes for the field seasons.
I refer to general website for a presentation of the main concepts behind the Grammar.
