You can see that there is a big difference in terms of finds between inside and outside the tomb. This is because most of the material found, apart from pottery, is associated with burials, which were made inside the tomb. Pottery was placed with burials, but of course was also an essential part of the everyday requirements of the people who used the tomb as a dwelling in the post-Pharaonic period, and thus it is hardly surprising that more pottery was found in one excavation season in the courtyard than in all of the shafts inside the tomb.
