HILDA PETRIE

Hilda Mary Isabel Urlin was born in 1871 in Dublín and she died in 1957. She was the youngest of her sisters, and the daughter of Mary Urlin (mother) and Denny (father). Hilda married with Flindre Petrie. Flindre was a great englesh archaeologist and Egyptologist. Hilda had two children Ann and Jhon.

Hilda studied geology and was an Egyptologist. Thanks to her husband, she started wor-

king, because he hired her to work with him. Hilda did many trips where she excavated and recorded numerous sites in Egypt and later in Palestine, where sometimes worked with Flindre and sometimes worked on his own.

She also worked like a secretary in the «British Archaeology School» founded by her husband.

I think Hilda is a great women, who gave everything for his job and his family.
