Gerzeh culture → Naqada II – Requesting move because "Naqada II" is the modern standard name for this period ("Gerzean" or "Gerzeh culture" goes back to the 19th century and is now generally depreciated):

• See Kemp (2018):"An older scheme ran from the Badarian, through the Amratian to the Gerzean and then, via a somewhat ambiguous transition, to the First Dynasty. Subsequently Amratian and Gerzean were generally replaced by the terms Nagada I and Nagada II, which still left the transitional period undefined. A redivision was proposed some years ago which recognized three Nagada phases: I, II and III (III overlapping with the First Dynasty), further subdivided by the use of capital letters (e.g. IIC), and this has become the standard terminology (with the retention of Badarian)."
