Context (CMS Context)
The period given in the publication (see Bib) and the catalogue card is Tasian but this database entry gives the period as Naqada I. It is not clear if this is the result of reassessment, a reclassification of Tasian as a separate period, or simply a mistake, so Tasian has been added to the Period field until the material can be properly assessed.
