Distribution of finds from Eastern Delta sites 1906

The distribution lists in the archives of the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology indicate that finds from the 1906 Petrie excavations at sites in the Eastern Delta went to the following cities, beside the Egyptian Museum, Cairo (the collection within the city is given, where the records name it):

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.
