Predynastic Egyptian Pottery Image courtesy of the Petrie Museum, UCL

What is Predynastic Egypt? Essentially, it is Egypt before the time of the pyramids It was a collection of different cultures and provinces One culture would eventually dominate, helping Egypt to unify

Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie The Father of Egyptology Worked in Predynastic cemeteries at Naqada Flinders Petrie established sequence dating He arranged pots in a relative chronological order (classes) based on the resemblances of the types. Each was assigned a number between 30 and 80. He started at 30 because he presumed that older pots would be found in the future. System still used by archaeologists today Image from GoogleMaps
