Everyday objects

Flinders Petrie was the first person to study broken objects of everyday life, such as pottery, faiences and cosmetic palettes for example. It is though study of these objects that one can gain insight into how life was at that time. Many of the objects that Petrie excavated were dispersed across the globe to various museums who helped sponsor Petrie's excavation. Some of the objects can be seen at Iziko Museums of South Africa.
