KV63 website updated
http://www.kv-63.com/index.html
Some more details of excavation work at KV63 have been posted on the official website: "Coffin ‘E’ (against the back wall of the chamber) has already received some conservation work. Resin-covered bands of texts are visible stretching across the torso, and extending midline towards the footboard. Intense conservation measures will be utilized to preserve these precious bands of texts in hopes of discovering names or cartouches. In the interim, we areconsidering x-raying (and other non-intrusive tools) this particular coffin and the infant coffin to determine contents and aid the team in formulating a timetable for examination."
See the above page for more details, together with an initial report on the "pillows" that have been found, photographs of which can be seen at:
