Today, the rais Alí has joined the team to lead the archaeological works. Without a doubt, there is no rais in Luxor who knows his workers and the site better than Ali Farouk.

Furthermore, David, from the University of Granada, arrived yesterday. He will be directing the archaeological works that are going to take place in Henenu’s tomb. David and Iria prepared the light system for the shaft of the tomb and made some room inside for a table and boxes of catalogued objects. David began cleaning the shaft and prepared all the tools and an inventory for the work which will start in the coming days.

Carmen and Bea continued organizing the ceramic materials with Bettina by dividing Middle Kingdom pottery from that of other periods. Bettina has also drawn some of the jars found in the embalming deposit that did not yet have previous illustrations.

Mohamed continued excavating the trenches and documented them through photography and 3D modeling. Carmen registered the materials discovered in the last few days. Afterwards, David and Iria separated and organized the ceramics and other materials which came from the opened trenches of the courtyard.

Reed has continued with the restoration of several pieces from the Henenu tomb with the help of inspector Fathi Badawy. When they are done, Patri will photograph each piece for documentation. The work of our photographer is incredible, she travels all over the site not only taking amazing archaeological photographs, but also documenting the human side of the project. It is impressive how well she manages to make us look after a whole day full of dust and sand.
