More News from Jane Akshar

Jane has updated her Luxor News Blog with the following items:

Temple of Tawosret
http://web.arizona.edu/~egypt/field.htm
Jane has updated her posting with the URL for the excavations's website, as follows and with more details on the above website (including details of two seasons of work): " The University of Arizona Egyptian Expedition's current archaeological project is the excavation, conservation, and publication of the remains of the memorial temple of Tausert, the 19th Dynasty queen who ruled as a king c. 1200 B.C.E. This uncompleted temple was briefly examined by Sir W. M. Flinders Petrie in 1896 but the first field seasons of our project (2004, 2005) have demonstrated that Petrie's work at the site was far from thorough. Numerous artifacts have already been recovered from previously unexcavated areas along with evidence that the temple was further developed than previously believed".
Details of the work at KV10, WV 23, WV24 and WV25 are also included on this page.

Deir el-Medina
Jane says that some new explanatory signs have now been put up at the tomb workers' village, and that a programme of restoration work is planned.
