The Petrie Museum houses many small finds (from Hatshepsut) such as scarabs, foundation deposits, tools, vessel fragments.
Searching through their collection this evening i came across a foundation plaque (UC8532) which was found in excavations by Petrie at Hierakonpolis, Egypt. This is the first mention of this site i have been able to locate through my own research, so further details will follow once they become available to me.
Tomorrow i attend a day school about Petrie (good timing!). I may be able to find out about excavations by Petrie in this area. Certainly i will ask the right questions which will at least point me in the right direction.
To find out about modern excavations at Hierakonpolis, see Hierakonpolis Online and follow the links.
Regards,
Stuart
