The first of the two cultures is represented and described by an EB II site discovered and excavated near Sheikh Muḥsen in central-southern Sinai. The site has the characteristics of the material culture of the Canaanite population that had penetrated into this area. The relationship between south Sinai and Palestine can be noted in the similarity of the architecture as well as of the pottery, flint tools, copper objects, etc. The second culture was found mainly in eastern Sinai but also in the central-south. It was probably a local lifestyle that existed in the region parallel to the Canaanite culture and is represented by different architectural types and by a unique local pottery. However, the existence of EB II Canaanite pottery in some sites provides definite evidence of connections between the two cultures during the third millennium B. C. in that region
