Scope and Content Notebook with sketches of 'pieces and patterned Aegean ware, from the waste heaps of the palace of Khuenaten, Tell-el-Amarna'. Those sketches were made in separate watercolour sheets that have been glued to the notebook pages. Some pages include annotations. The notebook is described by Petrie as having been written in April 1892, but an inscription on the front cover of the notebook indicates that it was given to the library of the BSA in September 1893. The pages are mostly paginated until page 46.
