ABSTRACT
The Petrie Museum archive includes a series of pocket diaries spanning his long career in Egypt, and including the 1888 and 1911 seasons at Hawara. These need to be distinguished from the so-called ‘Petrie Journals’, which comprise letters sent on a weekly or other periodic basis and which are preserved in the Griffith Institute, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. The term ‘day diaries’ has been adopted for the pocket diaries, to keep them separate from the journals. The record for 1910–1911 includes the following pencilled and inked notes of relevance to the finds of Portraits (in diary Petrie Museum Archive PMWFP1/115/9/31), with the portrait numbers added in bold in square brackets from comparison with the publication, notebooks and journals.
