Other objects (Nigel Strudwick)

The only work done in this area was the completion of a small number of supplementary drawings by Helen Strudwick, and the completion of the photographic record by Anthony Middleton.

Registration and storage of objects (Nigel Strudwick)

The major work undertaken by Nigel and Helen Strudwick and Evan York was the organisation of the finds in the tomb for closing and storage. In 2000 a large cupboard had been obtained for storing the finds in the Carter Magazine. In 2001 this box was painted and 16 trays added inside it for the better storage of the finds. A further 32 entries were made in the SCA register book:

These objects and 13 boxes and 14 bags of study finds were placed in the Carter Magazine on 28 October.

Three wooden boxes containing the coffin study finds were placed in Shaft E in the tomb. This shaft was also used for discarded pottery from excavations.

All shafts were opened for checking and for storing other objects which are not stored in the magazine. The principal groups are pottery in Shaft B Room 1; human remains and mummy bandages in Shaft F Room 1, Shaft A Room 1 and Shaft C Room 1; wood and modern material in Shaft D Room 1; stone fragments in Shaft F Room 1; and undecorated plaster fragments and funerary cones in Shaft C Room 2. Labels have been placed on each shaft indicating their contents.

Other work

Comparative study was undertaken in the following tombs: TT64, TT122, and TT123. Important insights were gained from parallels in these tombs with TT99.
