Kento Zenihiro (of cones fame) has reported rumours on Facebook that the lost Tomb of Nebamun has been rediscovered. The tomb (if found) has already been stripped of its reliefs: many are in the British Museum already. Nonetheless, re-finding the tomb would be welcome and might give better context to the BM reliefs.
I am just off out but will try to investigate later.

Two corrections:
Kento is famous for his work with *cones* not casts
and the news he is quoting comes from "DEUTSCHES ARCHÄOLOGISCHES INSTITUT ABTEILUNG KAIRO
Veröffentlicht im September 2012

Vorbemerkung". His original post and repost in the Society for the Study of Egyptian Antiquities group both link to http://www.dainst.org/sites/default/files/media/abteilungen/kairo/projekte/rundbrief_2011.pdf?ft=all
Thank you. Sorry I was rushed. I will correct and check the links.
Here's a good page, in English:
