The TT65 Project, conducted in Luxor, Egypt, during the 2014 field season, yielded fragmentary mummified and skeletal human remains from the area surrounding three tombs: TT65, TT66, and TT67. Excavations revealed remains primarily dated to the New Kingdom, Third Intermediate Period, and Late Period. Osteological assessments enabled estimations of sex and stature for several individuals, highlighting the complexities of context due to previous tomb robbing and excavation activities. This report contributes to understanding the burial practices and historical context of the Theban Necropolis.

This article presents a distinctive and unique tomb in Theban necropolis, discovered following the demolition of the houses at Qurna during the 2006/2007 season that I supervised as inspector of Antiquities. It is a Saff tomb and was assigned the number NTTMP 91 season 2014/2015 according to the New Theban Tombs Mapping Project (NTTMP) that I supervised. The significance of this tomb is attributed to its rare architectural elements that are not attested elsewhere including the second elongated passage and the cult chamber, which motivate the author to present this tomb in elaborated publication using case studies from the Theban tombs TT81, TT155, TT232 and-150-tombs.

In the third season of the Polish Asasif Project at the North Asasif Necropolis in West Thebes archaeological fieldwork concentrated on six of the Middle Kingdom rock-cut tombs: MMA 508/TT 311, MMA 509, MMA 512, MMA 514, MMA 515 and MMA 517/TT 240. The corridors and chambers were cleared and the architecture documented and restored. A surface survey was carried out on the slope. Of greatest interest among the finds are Middle Kingdom stone-mason's tools and cartonnages from the Third Intermediate Period.

Since 2013 the Asasif Project has conducted excavations of several Middle Kingdom tombs in the North Asasif Necropolis under the direction of Patryk Chudzik. Located adjacent to the New Kingdom temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahri in southern Egypt, these tombs were originally excavated in the early 20th century by H.E. Winlock. This article describes the results of a preliminary inventory of the human remains left behind from Winlock's excavations of one of these tombs, MMA 514, and its associated funerary complex. This tomb was reused at least twice in antiquity after the original interment, and Winlock's sometimes cursory (by modern standards) excavation methods have produced a highly mixed archaeological assemblage of human and faunal remains as well as archaeological artifacts from various time periods. In 2017, this author joined the Asasif Project for a very brief part of the excavation season to assess the condition and distribution of human remains from Tomb MMA 514. Although the human remains are in various stages of preservation and are highly fragmented, it is possible to identify at least nine separate individuals, ranging in age from infancy to adulthood.

Middle Kingdom burial assemblages as well as funerary equipment from the Third Intermediate Period uncovered at the North Asasif necropolis during the recent fourth season of archaeological research in 2017 have provided important insight into the development of the necropolis during the Pharaonic era. Seven Middle Kingdom funerary complexes: tomb of Khety (TT 311), MMA 509, MMA 511, MMA 512, MMA 514, MMA 515 and tomb of Meru (TT 240) were targeted in this fieldwork. At the same time, the presence of a Coptic hermitage inside the tomb of Meru, revealed in the process of cleaning the funerary complex, demonstrated its continued use in the late Roman age.
