Archaeologist, John Garstang founded the Institute of Archaeology at the University of Liverpool in 1904. It was the working home for Garstang, built an extensive collection finds excavated by in the ancient Near East, especially Egypt, Sudan, Anatolia, and the southern Levant. Garstangs excavations were sponsored, and alongside being housed in Liverpool, the finds distributed to over a hundred institutions across the world. This distribution is being identified and recorded as part of the AHRC RICHeS project at the University, reuniting objects, increasing usability and accessibility in research and addressing colonial acquisition practice.
