| Research Abstract |
This study researches on the provenance of marl clay pottery appearing in the mid of the Predynastic Egypt, the origin of which remains obscure. An integrated method composed of chronological observation, chemical analysis and archaeological excavations shows that the local marl clay pottery emerged earlier than imported Levantine pottery, and the indigenous production started at a certain place around Qena-Ballas area where even in the present, the calcareous pottery is manufactured at the largest scale in Egypt.
