Description: | Pottery vessel with red painted decoration. The vessel has 'Zawaideh' on the side near the base. Zawaiydeh is near Naqada. The label is almost unreadable though the bottom number appears to be a 5 or 6. Naqada II ware, 3500 B.C. to 3100 B.C. For an overview of ideas on the origins of D-ware see Askamit, 1998, 36-37 (Askamit, J. 1998. The D ware from Abusir el-Meleq. In C.J. Eyre ed 'Proceedings of the Seventh International Congress of Egyptologists', Cambridge, 3-9 September 1995. Leuven: Uitgeverij Peeters. 31-38). The current opinion is that D-ware originates in Upper Egypt in the Naqada-Abydos area. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | D-ware MacGregor | Temporal: | 3500 B.C.-3100 B.C.
