Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology

Petrie retired from University College London (UCL) in 1933,[12] though his successors continued to add to the collections, excavating in other parts of Egypt and Sudan.

The main gallery (housed above the old stables) contains many of the museum's small domestic artefacts, mummy portraits and cases, and the Inscriptions Aisle.

The Inscriptions Aisle displays tablets, including Pyramid Texts, written in hieroglyphics, hieratic, Greek, and Arabic, and organised according to material type.

[28] In 2007 Left Coast Press published Living Images: Egyptian Funerary Portraits in the Petrie Museum, edited by Janet Picton, Stephen Quirke, and Paul C. Roberts.

In 2014 Bloomsbury Press published Archaeology of Race which "explores the application of racial theory to interpret the past in Britain during the late Victorian and Edwardian period.

"[32] The book, written by Debbie Chalice, specifically focuses on how Flinders Petrie applied the ideas of Francis Galton on inheritance and race to the discipline of archaeology.

In 2015 UCL Press published a multi-author compilation of articles, The Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology: Characters and Collections, which is available in both print and via a free open access download.

Limestone head of a king. Thought by Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology to be Narmer , based on the similarity (according to Petrie [ 18 ] ) to the head of Narmer on the Narmer Palette . According to Trope, Quirke & Lacovara, [ 19 ] the suggestion that it is Narmer is "unlikely". Alternatively, they suggest the Fourth Dynasty king Khufu . Stevenson [ 20 ] also identifies it as Khufu. Charron [ 21 ] identifies it as a king of the Thinite Period, but does not believe it can be assigned to any particular king. Wilkinson [ 22 ] describes it as "probably Second Dynasty".
