KV63 dig status updated

KV 63 Home Page

Many thanks to Bob Partridge from Ancient Egypt Magazine for letting me know that the KV63 website has been updated as follows, by Otto Schaden:


It has been some time since my last update as many administrative issues necessitated my attention this summer. As of June 30th, our contractual agreement with the University of Memphis (UM) expired hence requiring a search for a new affiliate.Therefore, it gives me great pleasure to announce that the Amenmesse Project [KV-10 and KV-63] is now affiliated with the prestigious, Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) ~ The Egyptian Ministry of Culture.

Schaden says that the team plan to resume work on KV63 and or KV10 this winter 2007-2008.


See the above page for the full story.


For anyone not familiar with the KV63 excavation, the above site is well worth a look, with photographs, diagrams and descriptions from the 2005 and 2006 excavations.
