Can One See the Wood for the Trees in Prehistoric Egypt? A Study of Fayum Neolithic Axes
The Fayum has been known as the oldest center of cereal cultivation in prehistoric Egypt. How Egypt’s earliest Neolithic farmers lived a life is still a subject of controversy. This article focuses on Neolithic stone axes from Kom W, the type site of the Fayum Neolithic. These axes were collected and insufficiently published by the British archaeologist Gertrude Caton-Thompson in the early twentieth century, and are presently stored in the Petrie…

Teething problems in cereal cultivation in prehistoric Egypt
This paper discusses the beginning and development of cereal cultivation in the Fayum Neolithic of northern Egypt by restudying flint sickle blades, which were found and poorly published by the British archaeologist Gertrude Caton-Thompson in the early twentieth century and are presently stored in the British Museum, the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology at University College London, the Allard Pierson Museum in Amsterdam and the Egyptian Mus…

Neolithisation of northeastern Africa
A Missing Chapter of The Desert Fayum
A technological observation as well as a tentative chronological re-classification of the tool classes suggests that there is a diachronical continuum in the development of tool making technique, contrary to an early idea that there was a considerable technological hiatus between the Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic Periods. Although it is not yet certain whether the presence of a transitional period can be substantiated archaeologically, it seems m…
Supra-regional concepts in Near Eastern Neolithisation from a viewpoint of Egyptian Neolithic research
Le processus de néolithisation en Égypte a rarement été discuté dans le cadre plus large de l’archéologie du Proche-Orient. Si, en Égypte, la néolithisation est caractérisée par l’introduction, depuis le Levant, de blé et d’orge, de moutons et de chèvres domestiqués, beaucoup de chercheurs ont toutefois préféré concentrer leurs recherches sur le développement autochtone du bétail et sur la culture matérielle égyptienne, voilant ainsi le contexte …
