Ex Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853-1942) collection, item 3/6, found Luxor in the 19th century, with old collection packet with inked inscription. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie excavated in Egypt for the Egypt Exploration Fund (EEF) from 1884 to 1886, and in 1894 founded an independent archaeological team, the Egyptian Research Account, which later became the British School of Archaeology in Egypt. Petrie eventually rejoined the EEF and worked for them between 1896 and 1905. In 1892 he was appointed to the Edwards Chair at University College London, the first person to hold an academic position in Egyptology in Britain. In later life he began to work on Hyksos sites in Palestine and Gaza. He died in Jerusalem in 1942. Petrie changed the face of Egyptology in particular and the public perception of archaeology generally. He placed great emphasis on recording everything excavated from a site, and on the typological study of material culture. Petrie probably made more major discoveries than any other archaeologist, and his vast collection of antiquities is now at the Petrie Museum, London. He published a huge number of books, articles and reviews.
