	Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology in London is run by the Institute of Archaeology, which is part of University College, London.
		The museum was established as a teaching resource for the Department of Egyptian Archaeology and Philology at University College at the same time as the department was established in 1892.
		The first Edwards Professor, William Flinders Petrie conducted many important excavations, and in 1913 he sold his collections of Egyptian antiquities to University College, transforming the museum into one of the leading collections outside Egypt.

	The Petrie Museum
		The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology is an astonishing treasure trove of artefacts including the world’s oldest dress and perhaps the finest collection of mummy portraits anywhere.
		Petrie pioneered the modern scientific approach to archaeology, so the Petrie Museum is rich in finds from exceptionally well documented and well photographed excavations.
		The scripts include Hieratic, the everyday script of ancient Egyptians derived from hieroglyphs; Coptic, a form of writing widely used during the era when Christianity was the dominant religion; Greek, from the age of Ptolemy and Cleopatra; and a host of Arabic inscriptions from later eras.

	Hierakonpolis Online
		But because Petrie was obliged to distribute the more display worthy objects to the subscriber who funded his excavations, his collection was made up in large part of fragmentary and poorly preserved pieces, and as a result had remained unpublished.
		Her first task was to resurrect the museum's holdings from Quibell and Green's 1898-9 excavations at Hierakonpolis, a site realized to be of critical importance for understanding the origins of Egyptian civilization even before the Hierakonpolis Expedition took to the field.
		In 1985, with the aid of the Petrie Museum Friends, she instigated the conservation of the museum's important collection (one of the largest in the world) of encaustic wax mummy portraits of the Roman period, several of which were displayed in the international exhibition Ancient Faces.

	The archaeological record: Flinders Petrie in Egypt
		For the next five decades he was at the forefront of the development of archaeology in the country, before turning in the 1920s to the archaeology of Palestine.
		In 1893 Petrie became the first Edwards Professor of Egyptian Archaeology and Philology at University College London, and was able to form his own Egyptian Research Account to support excavation in Egypt.
		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.

	Education \| Barbara Adams
		The distinguished Egyptian prehistorian Barbara Adams, who has died aged 57, was, for more than 36 years, a curator at the Petrie museum of Egyptian archaeology at University College London, which houses the amazing collection of over 80,000 ancient Egyptian artifacts gathered by the great British archaeologist Sir Flinders Petrie (1853-1942).
		In 1998, the Petrie was granted designated status as a museum of national importance; it was principally Adams' vision, enthusiasm and unremitting endeavour that achieved this remarkable transformation.
		She meticulously catalogued the Petrie tomb-groups from Naqada, Abydos and many other early cemeteries, and cleaned and studied the marvellous ivories and other artifacts from Hierakonpolis, Egypt's first city, which was flourishing on the Upper Egyptian banks of the Nile by 3500BC, before the pyramids were built.

		Of purely Egyptian objects many were discovered, but the main interest of the place is in the remains of foreigners from the Mediterranean who lived there.
		The application of scientific principles to archaeology, the opening of fresh methods of enquiry, and the rigorous notice of the period of everything found, have been as fruitful in the East as it has proved to be in the West.
		That this civilisation was imported by an incoming race seems probable; and the dynastic Egyptians already found in the country an aborginal population, whose features, whose beliefs, and whose customs, differed much from their own.

		Fortunately, a very pleasant museum employee came forward, and instead of being hauled off to Old Bailey gaol, we pointed helplessly at our guidebook which said that the museum was supposed to be open, and without any additional persuasion we were allowed to wander through the museum at our leisure.
		Many of his other titles are available at the museum, which bears his name and holds the fruits of so many years of excavation in Egypt.
		The entire archive of Petrie's excavation notebooks is even available on a CD-ROM, "The Petrie Museum Archives", available at the museum store for 50 pounds.

		We can thus understand, far more than before, how the marvellous works of the Egyptians were executed; and further insight only shows plainer the true skill and ability of which they were masters in the earliest times that we can trace.
		The work of the scarabs is manifestly a Greek imitation of Egyptian style; and the names of the kings upon them show the dates to come down to the time of Uah-ab-ra (Apries), but not a single example of Amasis was found, proving the factory to have been extinct before his time.
		These sarcophagi were for a family who held offices in the Egyptian town of Am; another sarcophagus found near these also named Am, and a piece of a statuette from the temple gave the same name.

		Any detailed material related to Egyptian painting must of necessity include information about bas-relief as well as the painting of three dimensional images.
		For over three thousand years the Egyptians adhered to a prescribed set of rules as to how a work of art in three dimensions should be presented.
		Egyptian art was highly symbolic and a painting or sculpture was not meant to be a record of a momentary impression.
