Abstract

The focus of the recent investigation lies on the cultural assignment and archaeological chronology of the A-Group, the scientific result of which is to establish an internal chronology. With the emphasis on the Nubian pottery classes and type groups the study is mainly based on the find materials of the early surveys in the 20th century but also on the lately published works of the Aswan – Kom Ombo – Survey. The bulk of the published find material represents the material culture that was excavated during the different salvage campaigns conducted in Lower Nubia and in the Second Cataract area.

Keywords: A -Group; L ower N ubia; 4 th millennium; cultural assignment; chronology; pottery.
