Frederick W. Green (Egyptologist)

Frederick W. Green (Egyptologist) (fl. 1890s-1930s) was a British Egyptologist and archaeologist known for his work in excavation, surveying, and documentation, primarily under the auspices of the Egypt Exploration Fund (EEF), later the Egypt Exploration Society (EES).

Green was particularly associated with excavations at Hierakonpolis, where he worked extensively in the late 19th and early 20th centuries alongside James Quibell and, later, with Somers Clarke. His contributions at Hierakonpolis included helping uncover significant remains of the early dynastic period, including the Main Deposit within the temple precinct, which yielded important artifacts like the Narmer Palette and the Scorpion Macehead. He also worked on mapping and surveying the site.

Beyond Hierakonpolis, Green participated in or led other archaeological projects in Egypt, contributing to the understanding of various periods of Egyptian history. He was known for his meticulous record-keeping and his detailed site plans and drawings, which remain valuable resources for researchers today. His publications include site reports and articles documenting his findings. His work, while sometimes overshadowed by more prominent figures, played a significant role in the development of Egyptology as a discipline and in preserving Egypt's archaeological heritage. He also made important contributions in documenting and preserving temple architecture.
