In Protodynastic Egypt, Barbara Adams and Krzyszto Ciaowicz offer a lucid
account of the period between 3200 and 3050 BC. A bridge between prehistory and
history, this short but crucial transition period saw the colonisation of the
Nile Delta, the rise of the aristocracy, and the emergence of state institutions
that foreshadowed the pharaonic splendour of the Dynastic era. Published by
Shire Egyptology, £4.99, ISBN 0747803579.
