Tasian
Brunton excavated in the area of Tasa (see
Tasa on a map) some graves, which he thought might belong to a separate
culture, which he called Tasian. There is no general agreement about the Tasian
culture in current research. Already Baumgartel in 1955 proposed that the
Tasian is a part of the Badarian culture and not a separate cultural entity
(Baumgartel 1955: 20-21;
compare Kaiser 1985: 71-79 (argues
pro Tasa), Friedman 1999;(argues
pro Tasa as nomadic culture), Hendrickx/Vermeersch
2000: 40).
