KV63 Update

Dr Otto Schaden's dig diary has been updated: "Much has happened in the last two weeks, as Coffin’A’ (the first coffin) panel pieces and ‘mask’ were safely raised and relocated into KV-10. In addition, to some large pottery fragments, an inscribed Alabaster Jar and lid was also retrieved from inside the coffin ‘A’. The Alabaster Jar contained an inscription pertaining to ‘18 small jars’ was examined to disclose resin bandages which may have held moringa oil. A second alabaster jar and lid was also found which indicates ‘20 jars’ and faintly mentions Amen-Re."
See the above URL for the complete update. Dr Schaden also says that the KV63 website is soon to be upgraded to include a tomb map, diagrams, latest news, images and links. I'll let you know when it is up and running.
