Valley of the Queens Assessment Report Volume 2: Assessment of 18th, 19th, and 20th Dynasty Tombs

The Valley of the Queens Project was a collaboration of the Supreme Council of Antiquities and the Getty Conservation Institute from 2006-2011. The project involved comprehensive research, planning and assessment, culminating in the development of detailed plans for flood mitigation, tomb stabilization, wall painting conservation and site and visitor management and infrastructure. Volume 2 of the Assessment Report is the condition summary of the 111 tombs from the 18th, 19th, and 20th Dynasties in the Valley of the Queens. It includes a summary of tomb architectural development, the geological and hydrological context, wall painting techniques and condition assessment, and structural stability of the tombs, followed by summary recommendations that emerged from the assessments.
