AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Von der Way describes the results from two of the field seasons at Buto. (There had been 7 previous field seasons.) The strata are described. Of particular interest at Buto is the fact that one of the stratum shows a transition from a Lower Egyptian tradition to an Upper Egyptian tradition. During this time pottery changes gradually and mud brick buildings were built. It appears that cultural unification occured before political unification.
