STATUE OF AMENHOTEP I FROM ASASIF
The painted sandstone statue of Amenhotep I
was unearthed in Asasif in 198212 and moved
to the Chapel of Tuthmosis I on the Upper
Terrace of the Temple of Hatshepsut.
Conservation treatment was now applied13 to
c. 40% of the statue fragments, which were
consolidated with FUNCOSIL Antihydro and
then with FUNCOSIL Steinfestiger 300
(Remmers). The whole assemblage was
covered and wrapped in large plastic sheets.
The conservation work and restoration will be
continued in the upcoming season.
TEMPLE OF TUTHMOSIS III
After over 20 years of work the decoration of
nearly all the temple walls has been
established and the drawings of some of
them have already been made. At present,
the drawings of three rooms connected with
the King's Cult are being digitalized in
order to prepare the first volume of the
temple publication.14
All the drawings, which were made on
the basis of photographs in 1:4 scale, need
to be checked with the originals and
corrected. In the course of this season, the
documentation of Rooms G, H, and D has
been checked. A detailed description has
also been made of all the identified and
reconstructed scenes from these rooms,
laying emphasis on colors which are of
paramount importance in the temple of
Tuthmosis III, owing to their generally
excellent state of preservation.
During these works some new fragments
were identified and added. All the new
pieces, as well as parts of the wall drawing
in need of correction, were photographed
with a digital camera and a conventional
one.
