KV10 and KV63 project updates


Luxor News Blog (Jane Akshar)

Otto Schaden has updated Jane regarding both his own health and the plans for the sites KV10 and KV63 in the Valley of the Kings. The team, now affiliated with the of the SCA, are hoping to resume work this winter. Have a look at Jane's site, above, for the full story but here's an extract from his update:

The major emphasis will be the resumption of work on the artifacts from KV-63, including restoration and conservation work on the coffins, examinations of the sealed storage jars and special studies involving plant and textile remains. The amount of materials is considerable and it will be necessary to have an additional season after 2008/2009. As of now we still do not know the extent of the contents of the remaining unopened storage jars. The contents of those jars will, in large measure, determine what specialists may have to be added next time.
