Exploration of the tomb complex of king's daughter Sheretnebty, which was discovered in 2012, continued in the archaeological season 2013. In October–November, the work concentrated on the underground parts of the tombs, including the burial shafts and burial chambers. In tomb AS 68c, two shafts reached unusually deep; at a depth of 11 m under the ground the burial chambers of a man and a woman were hewn. The man’s chamber contained a large sarcophagus of fine limestone and remains of his burial and his tomb equipment, while the woman’s chamber remained largely unfinished and contained her rather simple burial placed on the floor. The so far discovered evidence indicates that this was the burial of princess Sheretnebty. Another four shafts in the tomb contained four other burials of a female and three males, most probably the couple’s descendants. In addition, the shafts in the two western rock-cut tombs were explored. In the tomb of Shepespuptah (AS 68b), a single shaft was dug in the tomb’s chapel, while the tomb owner was buried in a burial chamber south of the chapel. The shaft in the chapel was large but reached only 1.4 m deep and was never finished and never used for burial. The two shafts in the tomb of Duaptah (AS 68a) revealed bu - rials of two men; the south shaft belonged to Duaptah himself while the north shaft to a certain Nefermin. The burials were mostly very simple, and all of them were disturbed by tomb robbers. The preserved bones might however still reveal important details about the individuals buried in the rock-cut tombs, and they will therefore be studied in order to trace family relationships among the tomb owners.
