Abstract

[This paper evaluates shape grammars as a methodology to decode the cultural DNA of a set of fragmentary archaeological artefacts for parallel and precedent analysis and the definition of typologies of artefacts and buildings. Three historical grammars—one symbolic and grammar two shape grammars—and a recent shape grammar of a whole building type are reviewed. The paper draws conclusions on the contribution of shape grammars for archaeological typologies as well as the challenges and limitations of shape grammars in archaeological research.]
