Thanks very much to the EEF News Digest for another great edition, and for the following news item, summarizing the discoveries of the Mexican team excavating TT39 in the 2006 season. The tomb, which has not been investigated since 1920, belonged to Pui-Em-Ra, a priest under the reign of Hatshepsut:
"Luego de tres semanas de trabajo, 11 especialistas mexicanos concluyeron la segunda temporada de exploración de la Tumba Tebana 39, en Egipto, en la que lograron clasificar 108 de las casi 500 piedras -con escritura o pintura- encontradas en el lugar.
En esta segunda exploración de la misión mexicana, también se hallaron restos de momia, conos funerarios, fragmentos de Ushabti (figurillas funerarias), y una variedad de fragmentos de cerámica."

In rough summary, after three weeks of work 11 Mexican specialists concluded their second season of work at TT39. They catalogued 108 of a total of nearly 500 pieces which were painted or written upon. They also found funerary cones, fragments of ushabtis and a variety of ceramic fragments.
See the rest of the article at the above page. The story is also covered, with a photograph of the tomb exterior at:
