Introduction

     The Urkesh Global Record (= UGR) provides the fullest documentation available, sorted by excavation units.
     The central portion of the display contains the "Data Page," with all the relevant information sorted according to stratigraphic and typological criteria which are explained in detail in the section of the "GRAMMAR" about "The System" (section 1).
     The two side bars are subdivided into six sections as follows:

  1. The setting: this section offers introductory information about the system and about the specific excavation unit being treated.

  2. The finds: a presentation of the major results in a format that follows conventional categories commonly understood in the discipline.

  3. Correlations: tabulations with statistical implications.

  4. The system: a detailed explanation of the "GRAMMAR" that provides the theoretical justification and the operational details for the new categorization applied in the Global Record.

  5. Constituents: this is the core of the entire system, with the full stratigraphic, and partial typological, documentation of every single piece of evidence that was excavated, observed and recorded. The constituents are listed according to the categories explained in section 1.A of the "GRAMMAR" in the volume about "The System".

  6. The individual constituents of any given class can be found in section from 1.3 of the "GRAMMAR" (volume 1 = "The System").

     In the current interim version, we privilege the last section, the constituents.
