介绍（中）	尼罗河流域和附近沙漠中人类占领的悠久历史，通常最好的记录是遗址被遗弃时留下的工具。近年来，学者们对埃及人定居的早期越来越感兴趣，因此现在对他们的了解也越来越多。旧石器时代早期的工具通常是手斧，但在后期，工具包变得非常多样化，小石刃成为非常常见的物品。工具包内部和之间的多样性是由于人们所占据的环境区域和他们开采的资源类型的差异在旧石器时代晚期（约公元前10000–7000年），我们称之为箭头的工具首次出现。这里所示的空心基箭头是新石器时代（约公元前7000年至4500年）的一种常见类型，当时尼罗河流域本身正在进行居住。这些射弹点通常由燧石制成，通常被称为燧石，燧石以鹅卵石的形式存在于高沙漠表面。箭头是附在木杆上还是用在长矛上很难确认，但在前王朝早期（约公元前3600年）的罐子上可以看到人们拉弓的图像。
介绍（英）	The long history of human occupation in the Nile valley and nearby deserts is often best documented by the tools left behind when sites were abandoned. In recent years, scholars have become increasingly interested in the early periods of Egyptian settlement, and consequently much more is now known about them. The tools of the early Paleolithic period were often hand axes, but in later periods the tool kits became highly varied, with small stone blades becoming very common items. The variety within and between tool kits was due to differences in the environmental zones people occupied and the types of resources they exploited. During the Epipaleolithic period (ca. 10,000–7000 B.C.), tools that we call arrowheads appear for the first time. The hollow-base arrowhead illustrated here was a common type in the Neolithic period (ca. 7000–4500 B.C.), when the habitation of the Nile valley itself was underway. These projectile points were most often made from chert, often called flint, which was found in the form of cobbles lying on the high desert's surface. Whether the arrowheads were attached to wooden shafts or used in spears is difficult to confirm, but representations of men drawing bows can be seen on jars from the early Predynastic Period (ca. 3600 B.C.).
