Distribution of finds from Ihnasya 1904

The distribution lists in the archives of the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology indicate that finds from the 1904 Petrie excavations at Ihnasya went to the following cities, beside the Egyptian Museum, Cairo (the collection within the city is given, where the records name it):

NOTE: the same files include distribution of finds from the excavations that year at Abydos, Buto and Saqqara - some of the cities below may not have finds from Ihnasya

Other finds were retained by Petrie for teaching and research, and are now in the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology, University College London.

Note that the list may be incomplete; some finds may have been assigned but not sent. Substantial time and resources are still needed for the task of checking the archival records against the inventories of so many museums. Some of the collections may no longer exist, with transfers from one place to another.
