Description: | Body sherd of pottery vessel. Brown fabric. Traces of burnishing. From Armant. Found in 1997 in a box labelled 'Armant 4 Badarian (EPIII) Medium and Fine Wares 50/2971-50/3006 and 50/3024-50/3026'. This sherd dates to the Predynastic Badarian period (5500-4000 B.C.). This is the earliest type of Egyptian pottery manufactured. Badarian vessels are hand made and of extremely high quality. They were burnished to a lustrous finish and fired so that the top is coloured black and the rest left red. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Temporal: | 5500 B.C.-4000 B.C.
