| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Purposes of this study are to elucidate the development process of large cooking installations for grains and to understand their effects on the urbanization of settlements during the state formation period in Egypt, i.e. the 4th millennium BC. For the purposes, excavations of a large cooking installation were carried out at the Locality HK24B in the settlement area of Hierakonpolis, the largest Predynastic settlement site on the west bank of the Nile. The installation, dated to the first half of the 4th millennium BC, could produce about one thousand litters of food staff mixed with water and grains (beer malt?), which far exceeded an amount for domestic consumption. Additional field research and studies on previous excavations indicated that such cooking installations would have influenced on cooperation of settlement members and settlement organization towards urbanization.
