Observations :
- According to the article by Bernard Peterson, “[t]he work of excavation was entrusted to Professor T. Eric Peet of Liverpool Uni- / versity as director, assisted by Mr. A. G. / K. Hayter, who had spent a part of the / season of 1914 with the Germans at El / Amarna; Mr. F. G. Newton, archeological / architect; Mr. P. L. O. Guy and Mr. Ray- / mond Perry. Professor Thomas Whitte- / more, American director, was unable to ar- / rive until the close of the excavation, be- / ing detained in Constantinople on account / of work for the Russian refugees. / Here the Egypt Exploration Society of / England and the United States are to con- / tinue the systematic clearance of the en- / tire site section by section. The anti- / quities thus recovered are to enrich the / museums and institutions contributing to / support the excavation.”
