Description: | Pottery vessel. 2 lugs. 113mm high. D-ware, Naqada II type, wavy red decoration. 3500-3100 BC. The Naqada Period is named after a type site in Upper Egypt, north of Thebes. 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 | Temporal: | 3500 B.C.-3100 B.C.
