A two-volume archaeological study (Vol 1: 1947; Vol 2: 1960) that analyzes predynastic Egyptian artifacts to trace the origins of Egyptian civilization. Based heavily on museum collections rather than just field excavation, it argues for an Asiatic influence on early Nile Valley culture. Vol 1: 13 plates; 50 illustrations in the text.
