  Archaeology
But although archaeology uses extensively the methods, techniques, and results of the physical and biological sciences, it is not a natural science; some consider it a discipline that is half science and half humanity.
Archaeology proper began with an interest in the Greeks and Romans and first developed in 18th-century Italy with the excavations of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
The development of scientific archaeology in 19th-century Europe from the antiquarianism and treasure collecting of the previous three centuries was due to three things: a geological revolution, an antiquarian revolution, and the propagation of the doctrine of evolution.

 Museum of Archaeology
The end of the century sees substantial additions with a small group of Egyptian antiquities (collection Lindqvist, 1895), an array of flint artefacts from the province of Hainaut, formerly belonging to the Cloquet collection (July 1896) and -finally- the arrival of several Early Bronze Age excavated finds from the Siret collection (1897-98).
The presence of a small amount of the known finds is repeated, while several new acquisitions are mentioned for the first time, unfortunately without any reference to their whereabouts: we refer to an outstanding collection of Greek painted pottery and a bronze Etruscan mirror.
A contemporary photo album illustrates several of the finds owned by the University in 1904, and this is quite valuable since it is the last time that various antiquities are documented before disappearing during World War I. The 20th century is dominated by two main trends.

 AllRefer.com - Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie (Archaeology, Biography) - Encyclopedia
Among these are the sites of Greek settlements at Naucratis (1885) and Daphnae (1886); tombs of the first dynasty at Abydos (1899); the stele of Merneptah at Thebes (1896), inscribed with the earliest known Egyptian reference to Israel; and ruins of 10 cities at Tel-el-Hesy (S of Jerusalem).
A tireless and meticulous excavator, Petrie was responsible for greatly advancing the methodology of archaeology.
He was particularly innovative in the interpretation of deeply stratified deposits, undertaking the seriation of undecorated pottery and demonstrating how ceramics from Egypt could be used to establish the age of archaeological strata outside Egypt, a technique known as cross-dating.
