Sumario:The aim of this work is to contribute to the elucidation of the methodological bases necessary to study ethno-identity processes in ancient Mesopotamia. We will develop theoretical positions and categories considered essential to this task, such as otherness and ethnic group, among others. To this end, we will present a historiographical review of key concepts, from various authors and following the trajectory of their work, in the field of historic applicability. The whole analysis will tend to a historic-anthropological pluri-disciplinary approach to understand ethno-identity processes in the extinguished scribal societies, from the third millennium B.C., in the alluvial valley of the Euphrates and Tigris basin and their contact areas.
