Assassif tomb not newly discovered
Jane Akshar, who runs the Luxor Blog, has emailed me with details sent to her by Francesco Tiradritti. Francesco Tiradritti says that the Italian news article describing his entry on December 1st into the tomb of Uahibre-nebpehty (TT 191) was summarized from the dig diary on the team's Italian website, where the investigations were being reported on a day by day basis.
The tomb is not a new discovery, but there is doubtless much to learn, and it will be good to hear what the team's investigations uncover. Apologies to all for the information that a new tomb had been found, but wishing the team all the best, and thanks to Jane for sending on that clarification.
The team's home page is at http://www.harwa.it/, and the dig diary can be accessed from the Home Page (in Italian).
The English language section of the site explains the tomb of Hawra, and gives season reports for 1999 through to 2004, inclusive:
