Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the Predynastic period in Lower Egypt from about 4800 to 4000 BCE named after the location of settlements in the Fayum. These settlements were based on hunting, fishing, and gathering and are characterized by coarsely made and simply shaped pottery and a richly varied lithic industry.
