This volume, publishing the proceedings of the Fourth International

Conference on Predynastic and Early Dynastic Egypt (New York, 2011),

presents the results of the latest research and discoveries in the field

which are leading to a better understanding of the origins of the Ancient

Egyptian civilization. The 31 articles are organised under three major

headings: Tell el-Farkha and Lower Egyptian Sites; Abydos, Hierakonpolis

and Upper Egyptian Sites; Objects and Iconography. Each contribution

provides new insights into the variety of factors contributing to the rise

of the distinct form of the early Egyptian state. Recent discoveries from

major sites such as Hierakonpolis, Abydos, and Tell el Farkha, are the

subject of different articles, but also other sites, such as Abu Rawash

and the area of the First Cataract, are discussed.
