News from the Valley of the Kings

I am sooo far behind with news.  I look at the backlog and it deters me so I think the best it just to skip it and resume normal service (although there are one or two pieces of news I may go back to.)

So with thanks to Andie Byrnes here is a piece of news from the Amarna Project that they are conserving a group of six coffins.  They are important because they are the only decorated, non-royal coffins ever found at Amarna so presumably they represent the noble elite.  They have insciptions and publication is something which very much should be welcomed.
