	Digging up Clues with Amelia Peabody (Emerson)
		Amelia herself remains fully clothed but otherwise emulates Lady Petrie as she investigates the dilapidated and bat-guano encrusted interiors of several pyramids before being persuaded to move on.
		Amelia is less obviously based on at least one historical character: a model for Peters’s heroine is Amelia B. Edwards.

		The writer Amelia Edwards travelled to Egypt in autumn 1873, to escape the rain on a walking holiday in France.
		The teaching position was created by bequest: Edwards died in 1892, and in January 1893 her favourite archaeologist in Egypt, William Matthew Flinders Petrie, became the first Edwards Professor of Egyptian Archaeology and Philology, at the age of 39.
		For other items, the identification as pieces in her collection is complicated by the continued use of the term 'Edwards collection' for the objects in University College London used for teaching Egyptian archaeology and language: many of these were added from excavations and purchases after her death.
