=== Notes From Elsewhere ===
Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie, FRS[2] (3 June 1853 – 28 July 1942), commonly known as Flinders Petrie, was an English Egyptologist and a pioneer of systematic methodology in archaeology and preservation of artifacts. He held the first chair of Egyptology in the United Kingdom, and excavated many of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt in conjunction with his wife, Hilda Petrie.[3] Some consider his most famous discovery to be that of the Merneptah Stele,[4] an opinion with which Petrie himself concurred.[5] Petrie developed the system of dating layers based on pottery and ceramic findings.[6]<br /><br />Born Charlton, near Greenwich; died Jerusalem. His maternal grandfather was Captain Matthew Flinders, the explorer of Australia. Early work in Egypt funded by Egypt Exploration Fund, wealthy patrons and the Palestine Exploration Fund. Very numerous publications. Edwards Professor of Egyptology, UCL, 1892-1933. Honorary degrees from Oxford, Edinburgh, Strasbourg and Cambridge. Knighted 1923.<br />
