[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tukuler: [QB] So when did this 53 year old Arkel&Ucko become false? Never got that memo. Please update me willing to learn. From a review [QUOTE]The survey of predynastic Egypt is separated into four chronological groups: Neolithic, Badarian, Naqada I (Amratian) and Naqada II (Gerzean). The Neolithic portion consists of site overviews on Fayum, Merimde, and [URL=http://y]Khartoum[/URL]. The authors state that the Lower Egyptian sites of Merimde and Fayum are possibly related, but the majority of this section is spent on Khartoum. Fayum and [URL=http://y]Khartoum[/URL] share many similarities such as: the presence of amazon-stone beads, the use of fire pits and hearths, the absence of cemetaries, the possible eventual domestication of animals, the burnishing of pottery, and the flaking and partial grinding of stone celts. Next, they list the characteristics of Badarian culture. Arkell and Ucko believe that the ?Tasian? culture in Upper Egypt is synonymous with the Lower and Middle Egyptian Badarian. The[URL=http://y] Khartoum Neolithic[/URL] and Badarian share the characteristics of shell fishhooks, black top and ripple pottery, and flat-topped axes. They finish the survey with an overview of the Naqada cultures. Throughout the article, Arkell and Ucko list problems caused by the lack of excavations. Little is known about Merimde, and Fayum has no real evidence of domestic animals, as the faunal samples were lost. Carbon-14 dates for Fayum, Merimde, and especially Khartoum, are criticized and the authors propose that the sites actually date earlier than the results. Dates from most predynastic sites are taken from a single sample, so they are much less accurate than a series of C-14 dates. While there is no stratigraphic evidence that the age of Fayum is older than Badarian culture, technological improvements support this idea. Since no Gerzean sites have been found in the Delta, it is the authors? opinion that the Naqada II culture need not originate in that area.[/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
