  Whose Pharaohs?: INTRODUCTION
Learning about archaeology primarily from the Europeans, Egyptians gradually came to realize that it could be turned to their own ends.
These developments in Egyptian archaeology and museology were part of a global process in which states and peoples, over the course of the nineteenth century, struggled to define themselves as modern nations.
For thirty years thereafter, Egyptianization of archaeology and the government progressed fitfully and rearguard actions enabled Europeans to keep a tenuous grip on the levers of power until the 1952 revolution.

In 1924, in response to the French threat, a small Italian archaeological mission was deployed to the south of the country, outside the area of the French concession (Gilkes and Miraj, 2000: 113).
In his first year in 1924 Ugolini made two journeys in Albania, where, despite problems with the Albanian gendarmerie, he was able to examine numerous archaeological sites including the southern classical cities of Phoenicê and Butrint.
Ultimately, Ugolini was inherently aware of the role that archaeology played in the geopolitical objectives of Italy and was always careful to promote the Fascist myth of cultural continuity.

While regarded as of the leading American archaeologist of his time, Alfred Kidder was also the recipient of harsh criticism by fellow colleagues for being too conservative in his research as well as for conclusions that seemed to lack significance.
The Universidad del Valle de Guatemala Department of Archaeology was established in 1986 with funds from the Alfred V. and Madeleine Kidder Chair in honor of Dr. Kidder.
It is obvious that Alfred Kidder has left a lasting impression on the field of archaeology; he created a method of excavation that has not only provided the basis for conducting modern archaeological digs, but he developed a modern thinking that has lasted through the decades.

It can generally be said that in developed countries, the individual components of projects in aerial archaeology - special research (and sometimes aerial photography), photographic interpretation and rectification, mapping - are performed by specialists, and not by an individual.

What changed after 1914, however, is that the question of chronology became the focus of archaeological research, and the techniques of dealing with it became the standard tools of archaeology.
This shift occurred in American archaeology with the realization that archaeologists were dealing with a longer time period than they had previously realized.
For example, Taylor accused Kidder, who was perhaps the most prominent archaeologists of the time period of conducting bad archaeology and of failing to live up to his own rhetoric.

Alfred "Ted" Vincent Kidder was born in 1885, the son of Alfred Kidder (1840-1923) and Kate Dalliba Kidder of Marquette, Mich. After the Kidder family moved to New England, Alfred Vincent Kidder was educated primarily in Cambridge and Boston, Mass., and in 1904, he entered Harvard University as a pre-med student.
Kidder continued his fieldwork in the Southwest as curator of North American Archaeology at the Peabody Museum of Harvard University until 1915, when he was appointed director of excavations at the Pecos ruins in New Mexico, under the auspices of Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass.
He became known for his multi-disciplinary approach to archaeology, using fields such as social anthropology, ethnology, environmental studies, and geology to analyze artifacts and establish Mayan cultural history.
