The Petrie Museum in central London houses an estimated 80,000 objects, making it one of the greatest collections of Egyptian and Sudanese archaeology in the world. It illustrates life in the Nile Valley from prehistory through the time of the pharaohs, the Ptolemaic, Roman and Coptic periods to the Islamic period.

The collection is uniquely important because so much of it comes from documented excavations, many lead by Flinders Petrie at Tanis, Tell Nebesheh, and Tell-el-Amarna. The large typological series of objects (amulets, faience, objects of daily use, tools and weapons, weights and measures, stone vessels, jewellery) provide insight into how people have lived and died in the Nile Valley.

Address: Malet Place, London WC1.
Admission: Free of charge.
Opening hours: Open to the public Tuesday to Saturday 13.00 – 17.00.
We are also open for group and individual researcher visits on weekday mornings 10am - 12pm and all day Monday, but booking for this is essential - please contact the museum.

Pre-historic Egyptian pot from 3400 BC found in Cornish garage after couple watch TV by bat400 on Wednesday, 13 August 2014
(User Info | Send a Message)
A couple in Cornwall contacted the UCL Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology regarding a broken pot in their garage, after seeing a television documentary.
Watching The Man Who Discovered Egypt, about pioneering archaeologist Flinders Petrie, they were reminded of a small black-topped vessel, around 15cm high and complete with a yellowing label, which had been forgotten about for years. Curator Alice Stevenson was then able to match the number 1754, visible on the base of the pot and the label, to grave records from Petrie’s excavations in Naqada during the 1890s, now held in the museum’s archives. The pot had previously belonged to the finder’s grandfather, a taxi driver in the High Wickham area in the 1950s, and is believed to have been offered as payment by a mystery passenger, in place of the standard fare.

Petrie Curator Alice Stevenson said: “We don’t know what the pot was originally used for but it may have had a different function in daily life, such as holding a liquid like beer, before being re-used as a tomb offering. “Petrie’s discoveries were widely distributed to museums across Europe and the US but some items found their way into private hands. The fact that effort was put into printing and designing a label suggests that this was not a one off, so it’s possible that many other artefacts from prehistoric Egypt might be unknowingly concealed in garages, cupboards and attics. “The pot is particularly significant as it marks the discovery of a new era in Egyptology – not really known about at the time of excavation. The unusual nature of such pots such as this one, led Petrie to be the first to define the Predynastic Egyptian era, the period before the pharaohs.”

The pot is now being conserved by the museum and will go on display with other objects from the same grave.
