This paper explores exchange systems in the Predynastic and Early Dynastic Nile valley by examining distribution patterns of Egyptian pottery vessels in A-Group cemeteries of Lower Nubia. So-called `Hard Orange Ware' vessels, manufactured within the Naqada culture area, were widely distributed along the valley, from the Delta to the Second Cataract region and beyond. Their presence in A-Group cemeteries, imported front the north, provides suitable material for investigating exchange systems between Naqada and A-Group societies. Quantitative analyses, including those on form assemblages and `fall-off patterns', are applied, with the aim of elucidating distribution patterns, which may indicate developing complexity in exchange systems in Lower Nubia as complex societies developed within the Naqada Culture. - IH TakamiyaEGYPT AT ITS ORIGINS PEETERS PUBLISHERS 138 1027 - 1039 2004 [Refereed][Invited]

- TAKAMIYA IzumiBulletin of the Society for Near Eastern Studies in Japan 学術雑誌目次速報データベース由来 43 (1) 1 - 18 0030-5219 2000Scholars have long been interested in early state formation in the Nile Valley, and they have often argued about urbanization during the predynastic period in relation to the development of a complex society. Settlement patterns of the period, however, remain ambiguous, mainly because of the scarcity of known settlement sites in Upper Egypt. In this study, a reconstruction of macro-level settlement patterns in the Badari region is attempted on the basis of cemetery data rather than evidence from settlements themselves, in order to try to understand the basic settlement structures of the Naqada culture. If we assume that each cemetery reflected the location and chronological range of the settlement to which it belonged, it is possible to infer settlement patterns, in terms of spatial distri-bution of settlements and chronological diversities in patterns, from cemetery data. Comparison with settlement patterns in the Abydos region may be expected to provide a general image of Naqada culture societies.The analyses elucidated a chronological change in the settlement patterns in the Badari region, from the scarce and equidistant distribution of settlements during the Naqada I-IIa/b period to the relatively dense and uneven distribution observable from the Naqada IIc/d period onwards. Drastic changes, including the abandonment and shift in location of many cemeteries, as well as alternations in mortuary practices, occurred between the Naqada III period and the Early Dynastic period. These patterns are quite different from those in the Abydos region hypothesized by D. C. Patch. In contrast to the nucleation of settlements in the Abydos area, a dispersal of population and the emergence of new settlements are detected in the Badari region around the middle of the Naqada II period. Furthermore, the continuity in settlement pattern, which has been observed in the Abydos region from the late predynastic to the dynastic period, was not detected in the Badari region. Such differences obviously indicate the existence of local variations in settlement patterns. It is probable that while development of urbanization was in progress in historically and/or socially advanced areas of the Naqada culture, such as the Abydos region, small villages remained relatively undeveloped in other areas such as the Badari region. This local diversity may have affected the rapid cultural and political unification of the entire Nile Valley.

The excavations of Khaemwaset's monument at North Saqqara have yielded a number of hieratic dockets on building materials. These represent rare New Kingdom examples of their type, and promise to provide significant information about organization of labour. It is here proposed that these dockets related to the transportation of building materials for the monument. They perhaps also suggest a gang system slightly different from that in evidence at Deir el-Medina. Future studies of these hieratic dockets, as well as of other marks, will hopefully elucidate this organization further. - Waseda University Excavations at North Saqqara: A Preliminary Report on the Fourth Season, August - September 1995.S.

- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science：Grants-in-Aid for Scientific ResearchDate (from‐to) : 2015/04 -2019/03Author : FUKUNAGA Shin'yaThe goal of this research was to utilize the significant amount of Japan's Kofun-period archaeological material in order to clarify the historical significance of mounded-tomb building within human history. Comparison with the mounded-tomb building cultures of the world revealed that the mounded tomb (kofun) culture of Japan was unique: not only is Japan home to the greatest number of mounded tombs throughout the world measuring over 200m in length, but the shape and size of the tombs represented the political hierarchy centered on the paramount king. Furthermore, this unique nature of the kofun culture derived from the fact that Japan's state formation was accomplished through regional consolidation rather than through warfare, and that this widespread integration was represented in a set of shared mortuary rituals.

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.

The result of this project provides a model for the practical strategy for the future protection and management of the Memphite Necropolis.

On the top of the hill, a stone building of Khaemwaset, the fourth son of Ramesses II, was discovered in 1991. During the last two seasons, we extended the excavation area to the north-west of the stone monument. The excavation of this area produced a good result : we found another building, that was built with mud-bricks and the dimensions of which are about 22m by 25m. Because this area was thoroughly disturbed, only the foundation bricks were preserved. However, great quantities of small fragments of mural painting and faience tiles were uncovered around the mud-brick building. After the thick layers were removed, it came to light that this building was constructed in a very unique way : it was built at the top of the steep incline, and moreover the ground around the building was artificially shaped to rise the building than its surroundings, as if it was intended to be built on the platform which was dug out from the surrounding ground. So far more than ten stelae depicting Tuthmosis IV were discovered. We also found some stamped bricks and mud sealings with the name of Tuthmosis IV. These objects could be strong evidence that Tuthmosis IV was active on the top of the hill. Elaborate blue-painted pottery sherds, so-called palace ware are also supporting this evidence. Abundance of the middle 18th Dynasty materials suggests that the Khaemwaset's monument was preceded by the mud-brick structure. Moreover, this mud-brick structure probably remained standing when Khaemwaset built his monument. Thus, it is likely that the existence of the mud-brick building had influence on the construction of the stone monument of Khaemwaset at this site.

The excavations have uncovered a large limestone monument of Khaemwaset, the forthe son of Ramesses II of Dynasty 19. The purposes of the excavation of this season was two-fold : to complete excavation of the stone monument, and to identify structures around the monument. A southern part of an outer wall and the south-west corner of the monument were uncovered, and the overall structure of this monument was revealed during the season. Its general dimensions are 25m (north-south) by 30m (east-west). A foundation deposit discovered at the north-west corner of the monument include several faience scarabs inscribed with the name and titles of Khaemwaset, indicating that the monument was founded by the prince himself. A limestone alignment and a limestone pavement were excavated to the east and to the north of the monument respectively. They seem to date to a period later than the monument itself, though their precise date has not yet been determined. From the west slope of the site, a number of objects including fragments of blue painted pottery were collected. They indicate that certain structures of the middle Dynasty 18 existed at the site, as was supposed from bricks which were recovered in the last season, and stamped with cartouches of Amenophis II and Tuthmosis (IV? ). An analysis of finds indicates that the site was occupied from Dynasty 18 to the Byzantine period, for almost two thousands years.
