		Petrie's methods of work led to approval from many academics of the time, his literary output was prodigious, with more than a thousand books and papers published.

	I grandi archeologi: Flinders Petrie
		Petrie ha scoperto migliaia di sepolture predinastiche (ossia appartenenti al periodo appena precedente l'unificazione dell'Egitto sotto la I dinastia) cercando quello che all'epoca amava chiamare "l'anello mancante", in questo caso il punto d'unione fra l'epoca delle piramidi (dalla III dinastia in avanti) e l'Egitto predinastico.
		Flinders Petrie, invece, a trentotto anni, nel fiore della sua attività archeologica, penetrava sicuro nella terra proprio là dove il passato sembrava offrire i propri relitti senza difficoltà.
		Petrie fece nel palazzo tre tipi di scoperte: strutture edilizie di mattoni, fondamenta di colonne in arenaria e fondamenta murarie di pietra.

		Grandson of Captain Matthew Flinders, explorer of the coasts of Australia, he was judged too frail to attend school and was educated at home by his parents.
		Petrie's measurements proved that Piazzi Smyth's theories were based on a logical fallacy, but he had become 'hooked' on the archaeology of Egypt.
		Petrie's most significant contribution to archaeology was in 1899 when he developed and applied a method of statistical analysis to the material from the prehistoric cemeteries at Naqada, Hu (Diospolis Parva), and Abadiya.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 96.04.30
		Petrie was not one to readily admit his mistakes, particularly at the hands of people he despised, even in the face of weighty evidence to the contrary.
		Petrie would have been dismayed that he missed so much, yet pleased and approving at the additional secrets yielded by the site through further work and new scientific methods.
		Indeed, Petrie's insistence on publishing results immediately ensured that his material became rapidly available, but it suffered in being selectively published and with little of the real analysis of which Petrie was capable.

		Margaret S. Drower, a student of Petrie's in the early 1930s, traces his life from his boyhood, when he was already a budding scholar, through his stunning career in the deserts of Egypt to his death in Jerusalem at the age of eighty-nine.
		Petrie's careful academic methods often pitted him against such rival archaeologists as Amlineau, who boasted he had smashed the stone jars he could not carry away to be sold, and Maspero and Naville, who mangled a pyramid at El Kula they had vainly tried to break into.
		Petries achievements are astounding, founding archaeology and egyptology as a professional science, over the course of his career he excavating numerous important and valuable sites, and was prolific in his documentation and publication of his findings, Petrie revolutionised the practice of archaeology, setting a standard of excellence that his juniors and contempories had to follow.

	Flinders Books - Signed, used, new, out-of-print
		Carol Lee Flinders identifies the four key points at which the paths of spirituality and feminism seem to collide--vowing silence versus finding voice, relinquishing ego versus reclaiming the body, and enclosure versus freedom--and sets out to discover not only the sources of these conflicts, but how they can be reconciled.
		Petrie, an early practitioner of the cultural approach to art, considers fifteen different art or craft forms, ranging from the splendid goods made for pharaohs to humble objects of everyday life.
		Flinders draws riveting portraits of women who are the spiritual great-granddaughters of the female mystics and saints profiled in "Enduring Grace," tracing the spiritual "mother line" of these holy women of centuries past to four contemporary women: Jane Goodall, Etty Hillesum, Sister Helen Prejean, and Tenzin Palmo.

		1890: Petrie excavated at Tell el Hesy in Palestine for the Palestine Exploration Fund: this was one of the first digs in which the different layers of a large city mound were recorded to reveal the sequence of occupation layers and so the history of the ancient city (stratigraphy).
		The finds from the Petrie excavations in Palestine were also distributed widely; the Petrie share went not to the collections of the Department of Egyptology, University College London (now Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology), but to form a separate Petrie Palestinian Collection in the Institute of Archaeology.

		This temple was dedicated to the Egyptian deity Hat.Hor (originally Ishtar, according to Petrie), and was associated with nearby mines which were a source of turquoise for the Egyptian pharaohs.
		The temple was begun under Sneferu (IIIrd dynasty, dated by Flinders Petrie at c. 4770 BCE) and work was continued by later pharaohs, including Hatshepsut and Amenhotep III (c. 1490 BCE and c. 1400 BCE according to Petrie).

		Petrie's conservation strategy was straightforward: excavation and yet more excavation, with careful attention to the smallest object, and, above all, prompt and full publication.
		A pioneer in the field of Egyptian archaeology who decried the lack of attention paid to preservation, Petrie's excavation techniques—which emphasized recording the physical dispersal of objects in a site—were unique for his time.
		In many ways, this aspect of CRM is a highly sophisticated extension of the Flinders Petrie philosophy: dig it up before someone else destroys it.

		Working in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Sir William Flinders Petrie was one of the first in the field of archaeology to recognize that humble everyday objects could reveal as much about a culture as its great monuments.
		Petrie, who once slept in an abandoned tomb to save money on his excavations, is credited with dispelling the notion that the Giza pyramids were built with divine assistance.
