On the motives for population concentration in Hierakonpolis, different reasons related to
climatic conditions (increasing aridity), economy (emphasis in alluvium-based
activities and riverine trade), wars (quest for security) and religion (the
attraction of a local shrine) have been proposed. In this paper, all these
reasons will be considered, as well as the impact of such an agglomeration of
population in the process in which the state emerges, and the possible feedback
between these dynamics and the intercommunity conflicts unleashed in the region
from the second half of Naqada II onwards.
