Merimde (English spelling)

Japanese: メリムデ(英語表記)Merimde
Merimde (English spelling)
Located in northern Egypt, about 60 km northwest of Cairo, this is a large Neolithic settlement site representative of Lower Egypt. The main site is Marimda Bani Salama. It was excavated by Austrian H. Junker and others over a period of about 10 years from the end of the 1920s. The culture discovered here is collectively called the Merimde culture. The site is broadly divided into three periods, but since the excavation was not always accurate, there is much disagreement as to which period this culture belongs to. Based on the excavated remains, it is believed to date from the latter half of the Badari culture in Upper Egypt to the end of the Amra culture (Naqada I period).

エジプト北部,カイロ北西約60kmにある下エジプトを代表する新石器時代の大集落遺跡。中心遺跡は,マリムダ・バニー・サラーマ。1920年代末から約10年間にわたり,オーストリアのH.ユンカーらによって発掘された。ここで発見された文化を総称してメリムデ文化と呼んでいる。遺跡は3時期に大別されるが,発掘が必ずしも適切でなかったこともあり,この文化をどの時期に置くかは異論が多い。出土遺物から考え,おそらく上エジプトのバダーリ文化期の後半から,アムラ文化期(ナカーダI期)の末ころにかけての時期のものとみられる。
