Abstract

This paper evaluates shape grammars as a methodology to decode the cultural DNA of a set of fragmentary archaeological artifacts for parallel and precedent analysis and the definition of typologies of artifacts and buildings. Three historical grammars – one symbolic and 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.
