Scattered Finds

Archaeology, Egyptology and Museums
Book • 2019
Between the 1880s and 1980s, British excavations across Egypt uncovered hundreds of thousands of ancient objects sent to over 350 institutions worldwide, including sites like Abydos, Tell el-Amarna, and the Fayum.

The book examines the networks of patronage, partage systems, and diverse recipients—from Victorian UK museums and women's suffrage campaigns to major US institutions, Japanese university museums, and post-independence Ghana—while addressing the legacy, authority, and ethical stewardship of Egyptian heritage today.
