At the end of the two months, they return to Luxor where Petrie commences with his main task of collecting material for his “Racial Types” project which involves the photographing and making squeezes of scenes in the temples at Karnak before he moves across to the West Bank to continue this work in the temples and tombs there. Later in the season, Petrie moves on to Dahshur to survey the pyramids.
- Main sites: Aswan, Karnak, Dahshur.
- Other sites: Ramesseum, Valley of the Kings.
- Pages 34 and 34A are copies of letters by Petrie's mother Anne.
