A culture from the Predynastic period of Egypt at the end of the 4th millennium BC. It was the last predynastic culture of Lower Egypt, just before the 1st Dynasty. The reference site is Maadi al-Maadi on the east bank of the Nile, about 15 km south of Cairo. It was excavated in the 1930s by O. Mengin and others. The remains of a dwelling with storage pits have been discovered, but the burial site has not been identified. Many artifacts have also been discovered that bear similarities to those of the Gerze culture (Nakada II culture) of Upper Egypt, such as slate palettes, painted pottery, and pottery with wavy handles.
