Notes From Elsewhere
Alfred Lucas (born in Manchester in 1867 - died in 1945 ) is a British chemist who worked for the Egyptian Antiquities Service between 1923 and 1932.
For nine seasons, he worked closely with Howard Carter in preserving the funerary equipment of Tutankhamun and analysis of different materials highlighted in the tomb. This is the first case of integration of a chemist in an archaeological expedition. Carter had indeed estimated that without conservation measures, only 10% of the material may be exposed. Lucas's work permit contrary to almost all objects discovered to cross the years and to be exposed in the Tutankhamun collection of the Cairo museum .
