The Amenmeses Project

The Amenmeses Project-KV10/KV63 has been working on clearing the tomb of King Amenmeses of the 19th Dynasty and recording its architecture, decoration, and finds. The tomb was reused by two queens who removed the king’s decorations and covered them with their own decorative schema, on painted plaster. In addition, the area surrounding the tomb has been cleared, revealing two groups of worker’s huts, as well as KV63, an embalming cache of the late 18th dynasty, that was the first new tomb to be found in the Valley since 1922.
