Kort biografi
Sir Flinders Petrie improved and pioneered the techniques and methods used in field excavations, now in standard use throughout modern archaeology. He was also a famous teacher and mentor of other archeologists. He is considered to be the father of Egyptian archaeology. At age 24, he wrote Inductive Metrology; or, The Recovery of Ancient Measures from the Monuments, which represented his new approach to archaeological study. In 1904, he published Methods and Aims in Archaeology, the definitive work of his time.

This is an online book from archive.org. Flinders Petrie is perhaps the greatest Egyptologist who ever lived, not in terms of the richness of tombs he discovered but because he spent so much of his life digging in Egypt. This book is a short summary of his digs in the field from 1881-1891. Yes, he was an intemperate, opinionated, short tempered individual who provided rough accommodations for himself, and his workers when in the field and his opinions of his workers mirror those of Europeans had of Egyptians but he is called “the father of archaeology” for good reason; he created the systematic methodology used by archaeologists today.… (mer)

dnf @ 10% put this one down when i saw that the author subscribed to the idea that humans are divided into "aryan" and "semitic." i get it, the book was written in the early 1900s, but it still doesn't settle well with me.

William Flinders Petrie is, of course, one of the great names of Egyptology, but like many other great scientists of the past a lot of his work has been superseded. This book an scarabs and cylinder seals is a case in point; when originally published (1917) it was probably sate of the art but now the illustrations are small and difficult to make out and the transliterations don’t use the modern standards (“măot” for “ma’at”, for example).
One thing I had never realized, though; is that there are several genera of scarab beetles in Egypt, and the Egyptian workmanship exact enough that they can be told apart: Scarabaeus, Catharsius, Copris, Gymnopleurus, and Hypselogenia. At first I thought it might be possible to see evolutionary changes in the beetles – scarabs were popular for about 2500 years of Egyptian history – but it’s likely that changes in artistic style would wash that out. However, it might be possible to extract biogeographic information; are all these beetles still known from Egypt? I don’t know; entomologists and Egyptologists are welcome to run with it.… (mer)
