- Project History:
- Under the charge of the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE), a survey and touristic presentation plan project was undertaken from 1998-1999. The purpose of this project was not only to document the tomb and its state of preservation, but to also make recommendations for future conservation efforts and how best to preserve it going forward. Michael Jones oversaw the overall efforts of the joint projects, visiting various museums during the investigation. Photo documentation was carried out by Robert K. Vincent and Michael Jones. James McLane served as Project Director for the geotechnical evaluaiton and 3D Survey. He was assisted by Raphael Wust who served as Geologist and Principal Investigator on the project. Cristina Vazio was Project Director for the condition survey of the paintings. Bojona Mojsov was the Principle Investigator for the Egyptological report. Finally, the display and presentation plan was directed by Shari Saunders.This endeavor was made possible with the support of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (formerly the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities).
