The ceramic assemblages from the Nabta Playa and Bir Kiseiba area have played an important role in recognizing and defining the cultural sequence in the Egyptian Western desert. The exploration of the desert sites has yielded a ceramic chronology for the area that reaches back 6000 years to the earliest discovered pottery. By taking a comprehensive approach to ceramic analysis, researchers were able to categorize pottery by scheme, construction, and distribution. This methodology allows for:
describing the types of pottery uncovered;
discussing the attempts at sourcing...

Archaeologists know that Wendorf's expeditions produced most of what we know about the stone age prehistory of northeastern Africa. They also realise that he contributed to the archaeology of the American Southwest before he focused his talents on Africa. 'Desert Days' is Fred Wendorf's memoir.
