Otto Schaden's Dig Diary (KV 10 and KV63)

Otto's Dig Diary

20 NOVEMBER 2008

Servus! I am happy to report that our plans for the 2009 season has now been finalized. I will depart for Cairo on January 2nd. Factoring in a few days of scheduled meetings and retrieving supplies I should reach Luxor by January 5th.

My hope is to open KV-10 and KV-63 around January 10th if not before. Staff will begin arriving January 9th with the rest of the team staggered over the months of February and March. It will be a full house this season as we expect close to 10 staff members along with three Conservators, two Botanists, one Textile specialist, a Draftsman and a Pottery Expert out this year.

For us….this should prove to be an exciting year as we search for answers to the many riddles that surround KV-63.

So mark your calendars and look for the next update coming in early January.

See you in Luxor!
