Neolithic era culture of Badarians (4400-4000)

More about the book

Focusing on the archaeological cultures of the Predynastic age, the book explores the Badari and Naqada periods, highlighting the emergence of agriculture in Upper Egypt and the early signs of social inequality. Grave-site remains reveal a distinction in wealth, with variations in grave goods and the physical separation of wealthier graves from those of the majority. This initial stratification, while limited, foreshadows the more pronounced social hierarchies that would develop during the Naqada period, marking a significant evolution in Egyptian prehistory.
