description One of the main foci of comparative studies on ancient societies deals with urban dynamics and, in particular, with initial urbanization processes and their concomitance with the transformations that lead to the emergence of state dynamics. Within this context, we will analyze here the evidence about two nuclei that have provided a large amount of information on the characteristics of the population nucleation on the banks of the Nile during the IV millennium BC: Hierakonpolis, in Upper Egypt, and Tell el-Farkha, in the Nile delta. We will address, first, the available evidence for both historical situations, organizing it into four major areas, related to spatial dynamics, forms of functional specialization, social differentiation, and conflict, which allow us to notice the main innovations that characterize these processes. And second, we will propose a reconsideration of the information that relates to a specific problem: the relationship between the concentration of population in urban contexts and the processes of sociopolitical hierarchization that took place within and from the urban centers. In this sense, beyond the multiple differences between the urbanization trajectories of Hierakonpolis and Tell el-Farkha in the long term, the beginnings of these processes in both nuclei have a common characteristic, which is fundamental for further transformations: the creation of a social context whose practices exceeded the limits related to the preexisting logic of social organization.

Uno de los principales focos de los estudios comparativos sobre sociedades antiguas es el que refiere a las dinámicas urbanas y, en particular, a los procesos de urbanización inicial y su concomitancia con las transformaciones que conducen al surgimiento de dinámicas estatales. En este marco, interesa analizar aquí la evidencia procedente de dos núcleos que han aportado una gran cantidad de información acerca de las características del nucleamiento poblacional a orillas del Nilo durante el IV milenio a.C.: se trata de Hieracómpolis, en el Alto Egipto, y de Tell el-Farkha, en el delta del Nilo. Se abordará primeramente la evidencia disponible para ambas situaciones históricas, organizándola en cuatro grandes ámbitos, relacionados con la dinámica espacial, las formas de especialización funcional, la diferenciación social y el conflicto, que permiten advertir las principales transformaciones que son más directamente reconocibles. Y luego se propondrá una reconsideración de la información que se relaciona con un problema específico: la relación entre la concentración de población en contextos urbanos y los procesos de jerarquización sociopolítica que tuvieron lugar dentro –y a partir– de esos centros urbanos. En este sentido, más allá de las múltiples diferencias entre las trayectorias de urbanización de Hieracómpolis y de Tell el-Farkha en el largo plazo, los inicios de esos procesos en ambos núcleos tienen una característica común, que sería fundamental para las futuras transformaciones: la creación de un contexto social en el que advendrían prácticas que excederían los límites que establecía la lógica preexistente de organización social.
