Hathor shrine. Over 30 such blocks were selected and fully
recorded. A number of them have been ascribed to particular
scenes on the colonnade walls (Fig. 2). The main difficulty in
restoring the scenes results from repetition of the same element in
different scenes. Thus, missing in the walls are four depictions of
Hatshepsut facing right and four other facing left destroyed and
changed for Tuthmosis II. The distribution of selected fragments
between these depictions is advanced. During the season also the
four architrave blocks replaced to the front row of the Hathor
shrine by Emile Baraize were recorded and studied. It has been
established that none of them belongs to the Hathor shrine.
The documentation and texts of a volume concerning the
solar complex were verified. Also further research was carried out
on the decoration of two barks of Amun restored under Horemheb
after the Amarna persecutions. The aim of this research carried by
K. Spence was to interpret the traces of different stages of the
after-Amarna restoration and to study the details of the rich
decoration of the two depictions of the bark of Amun.
The architects of the mission completed the last of the
measurements and studies of the southern part of the upper terrace
and on the access to the Hathor shrine for publication as a
monograph on temple architecture.
Prof. Andrzej Niwiński examined and recorded fragments
of painted sarcophagi of the Late Period stored in the tomb of
Neferu which is accessible from the middle court of the Hatshepsut
temple.
Heavy rain in October and then in November caused
comparatively little damage to decorated temple walls and loose
fragments. However, in a few places water cascaded down the
walls affect the decoration: on a single pillar of the Punt portico,
on the western part of the southern wall of the same portico, in the
central part of the southern wall of the southern chapel of the upper
terrace and on the southern wing of the east wall in the Hatshepsut
