Returning to England from Giza, (Egypt) at the end of 1880, Petrie wrote a number of articles and then met Amelia Edwards, journalist and patron of the Egypt Exploration Fund (now the Egypt Exploration Society), who became his strong supporter and later appointed him as professor at her Egyptology chair at University College London. Impressed by his scientific approach, the university offered him work as the successor to Édouard Naville With his appointment to the UK’s first Chair in Egyptian Archaeology and Anthropology at University College London, -(UCL)-, in 1893 – the Edwards Professorship – Flinders Petrie was able to form his own Egyptian Research Account to support students participation in excavations in Egypt.
