Definition: In the late 19th century, British archaeologist Frederick J. Bliss was a student of Flinders Petrie, and conducted his first archaeological expedition at Meydum at Egypt and Tell el-Hesi, in Petrie's footsteps. He is most known for his work in the Levantine for the Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF), with scholars such as Archibald Dickie and R.A.S. Macallister; and for his work with Macallister improving on stratigraphic techniques developed by Petrie.
