Where did Woolley conduct his archaeological work?

Woolley worked at several archaeological sites. From 1907 to 1911, he served with an archaeological expedition near Wadi Halfa, Sudan. He worked at Carchemish (now southern Turkey) from 1912 to 1914 before moving on to Tell el-Amarna in Egypt. His best known excavations were undertaken between 1922 and 1934 at the Mesopotamian city of Ur. Woolley also worked at Alalakh in the latter part of his career.
