	Naqada
		One interesting characteristic of Naqada 1, is that war and hunt is represented on ceramics and other objects as a dual theme.
		Naqada 2 is a culture which seems to have spread all across Egypt, apparently by conquest or the establishment of military and trade strongholds.
		It was during Naqada 2 that the techniques of working both soft and hard stones were developed, techniques which would be of central importance during Ancient Egyptian civilizations.

		In Naqada II, fl-topped and red-polished pottery was first augmented, then replaced by buff or hard pink vessels fired in a closed kiln, and sometimes decorated with red paint in a new style.
		A terra-cotta model of Naqada I-II date and representational evidence from Naqada III indicate that large oval fortifications with bastions were erected of a type later depicted enclosing the names of known towns, using brick for at least part of the structure (Baumgartel 1960: p.
		A pharaonic sacrificial procession appears on monuments of Naqada III, on a painted textile from Gebelein of Naqada I, and in a large wall painting in a tomb dating to the middle of Naqada II at Hierakonpolis that is an organized pharaonic composition (Williams and Logan 1987: 253-57).

	The Ancient Egypt Site - The Naqada Label
		The Naqada label has since often been forwarded as the ultimate proof that Menes is to be identified with the Horus Aha.
		He also pointed to the importance of the fact that the Nebti-name was written within a sign representing a building that he identified as a funerary structure dedicated to the deceased Menes.
		Against the interpretation of the signs in the booth as a Nebti-name, it should be noted that the Nebti-name does not become a standard part of the royal titulary until the reign of Den, several generations after Aha.

	predynastic Period
		Naqada is a place located on the west bank of the Nile, around 25 km north of Luxor.
		Naqada II Some scholars agree that the shift from Naqada I to Naqada II was the result of more intense interaction and trade with foreign groups from west Asia.
		Hierokonpolis is one of the centres of upper Egyptian Naqada cultures, and of key importance during the Naqada III cultural phase.

	PREDYNASTIC EGYPT 2
		The southern predynastic can be basically described in two segments with Badarian/Amratian (Naqada I), marking a continuum of Neolithic development and Gerzean/Naqada II-Naqada III marking a period of rapid growth and transformation toward complex society that set up the subsequent unification of Egypt.
		The Gerzean (Naqada II) period was one of emergence of large settlements dominating the traditional rural pattern: Hierakonpolis and Naqada in Upper Egypt became the centers of the rival religious cults of Seth and Horus in Dynastic times.
		This architectural and burial elaboration mark the rapid rise of more centralized administration, the emergence of an elite group of rulers, and their use of craft specialists to produce the symbols of power that separated them from commoners.

		In the Naqada III Period (33-3100 BC) Egypt experienced a period of rapid change and growth, contemporary with the late Uruk period of Mesopotamia, which drew on political and ideological features already in place to create the institutional base of Egyptian Pharaonic Civilization.
		The local god of Naqada was Seth, a divinity of great importance in the emergence of divine kingship and the principal divinity of Upper Egypt in the historic period.
		At this early period writing is embryonic, mostly consisting of a few characters that chiefly mark the property of the elite and most commonly to relate events of importance to the king (contrast with commercial use in Sumer).

		Naqada is situated on the west bank of the Nile north of Luxor, and stood opposite the entrance to the Wadi Hammamat providing direct access to the Red Sea coast and the gold reserves of the eastern desert.
		The importance of archaeological finds in Naqada has resulted in its name lending itself to the pre-pharaonic periods between 3800-3100 BC, and is called Naqada I, II and III.
		Naqada maintained its importance throughout the pharaonic period and into the late antiquity period, during which it became inhabited by famous anchorites such as Elias of Mount Bishwaw and Samuel of Mount Banhadab.

	Predynastic Egypt
		Because it was difficult to attribuate to the Predynastic cultures precise dates, the whole Naqada period has been devided by the archeologist Flinders Petrie in sequences numbered 30-80 (1-29 were left for older cultures that may be discovered after this system was established), based on the pottery he had recovered from some 900 graves.
		Near naqada was found what has been called the South Town, where a settlement very different from the others, as it was a fortified city with almost rectangular brick houses.
		It is to be noted that it is in the Naqada I culture that are found some developments from which would spring the pharaonic culture.

	Origin of the State. Predynastic and Early Dynastic Egypt (Cracow 2002): ABSTRACTS OF PAPERS
		Ripple-flaking knives, usually dated to the late Naqada II - early Naqada III, are believed to have been manufactured by a limited number of specialists because of their sophisticated and time-consuming technique.
		It seems that specialized systems characterized by mass-production were introduced around the threshold of the Naqada III period, when remarkable standardization appeared in pottery vessels and long-distance trade networks enabled to distribute a large amount of pottery vessels to the areas outside the Nile valley.
		The attached specialization further developed during the Naqada III period, as was indicated by large-scale trade networks, a writing system, and elaborate relief decorations on palettes and knife handles.

		Until recently, the radiocarbon age estimates for Naqada III were insufficient to arrive at a reliable age determination for that pivotal period which encompassed the period of state formation.
		Therefore, for this period pottery types were used to create the division referred to as Naqada III, a division that covers a wide period of time from the Protodynastic until the end of Dynasty III, with the advent of Meidum ware.
		The early part of this chronological division was a transitional period, the regional kings or chieftains of the period being referred to by Manetho as the age of demi-gods.

		Settlement size and distribution are primarily understood from the well-known cemeteries of the period, including those near the modern town of Naqada in Upper Egypt, for which the period is named.
		The formal burial program begun in the Badarian Period continues, with increased numbers of ceramic vessels—some of which display geometric figures and hunting scenes—placed in the tombs along with stone vessels and slate cosmetic palettes of rhomboid and animal forms.
		Burial goods are similar to those of the Naqada I Period, although styles of vessels and palettes change.

		The Amaratian culture (sometimes referred to as Naqadan culture) is a classification for people that lived in Upper Egypt during the period of time known as Early Predynastic (3800-3500 bce), or Naqada I. The culture emerged when arid conditions in the east and west forced cattle herding people into the Nile Valley.

		We know very little regarding the political and social organisation of this period, most of the evidence we have for this period, comes not from the towns and villages; which were made of perishable materials, but from the cemeteries and the items found within the graves.

		There are late pre-dynastic royal serekhs (Naqada III, Dynasty 0) found on jars from El-Beda and Tura showing a double falcon, this king is thus known as 'Double Falcon' although whether he is one individual is unknown.
