Flinders Petrie Independent Excavations 1887–1892

Flinders Petrie’s first sponsored excavations in Egypt were for the Egypt Exploration Fund (EEF) in 1884. Unfortunately, his relationship with the EEF was always fractious and after disagreements with the EEF committee in 1886 he decided to work independently.
