Merimde Benisalame 2

This is the second volume of Eiwanger's three volume final

publication of German work at the Predynastic settlement site on

the western margin of the Delta. The book presents the earliest

artifactual evidence for fully sedentary village life in the Nile

valley, starting around 5000 BC. Polished black pottery,

pear-shaped stone maceheads, fish-bones and fish hooks were found

in the context of mud-brick huts interspersed with pottery and

basket grain stores. Text in German.
