Just a reminder that Dr Otto Schaden should be back in Luxor and the Valley of the Kings for the 2010 season. His last update suggested he expected to be back in Luxor around 7th January 2010 and re-open KV10 shortly afterwards.

As excavation of KV63 is now complete, I'm not sure how often we'll receive news this season. There's no newsfeed on the kv-63.com site, so updates are easily missed. If anybody spots one could you please add a comment to this post or contact me. (A comment will alert readers quickest as it'll appear in the sidebar.) I'll then post fully as soon as I can. As a week has passed, I've just checked now.

Work for the 2010 season includes removing more resin from the coffins. It's possible of course that there are unexpected marks preserved beneath the resin which could give further clues to the original intended owners, so 2010 is still a season which could bring new discoveries.

PS a reminder to any visitors to Luxor (including ordinary tourists) - any news of any goings-on in the Valley of the Kings is really appreciated.
