Daily Photo: Naqada II ceramics
More photographs from the British Museum. Today's are Naqada II or Class D decorated ceramics. Flinders Petrie, known as the Father of Pots, devised a sequence for the Predynastic pottery that he was finding, and his pioneering work is still in use in a modified form today. His typology is shown in the second photograph. If you are interested in his work, Etana has some of his works on the Predynastic available for download, free of charge, as follows (amongst many others about all periods by Petrie and other authors):
Naqada and Ballas (1895)
Corpus of Prehistoric Pottery and Palettes (1917)
