Dating

This site was used during the following period(s):

New Kingdom
Dynasty 18
1980s: Publication, Conservation, Excavation
Franco Egyptian Mission
2006-2008: Survey and Documentation
Getty Conservation Institute (GCI) and the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA)

Site Condition

According to the GCI-SCA, the shaft appears to be in good condition, despite the opening in the north wall to adjacent QV 34 and the large area of ceiling collapse in that tomb. Signs of flooding through the tomb shaft and into neighboring QV 34 are present. Periodic episodes of flooding have contributed to the fractured nature of the rock and the collapses evident throughout QV 34.

Geography and Geology of the Valley of the Queens and Western Wadis

The Valley of the Queens and the Western Wadis are made up of numerous valleys spread out over a vast space of desert, each containing tombs for the New Kingdom queens and other royal family members. The poor quality rock has led to damage in several tombs after suffering from earthquakes and floods.
