The 1:1 tracings of the decoration of the walls and pillars of
the colonnade were completed and the recording of the texts on
the columns has progressed. The recording of the texts on the
Hathor shrine architraves in the temple stores has also advanced
considerably, leaving only a few smaller fragments to be recorded
during the next seasons.
The Mission continued to record the vestibule of the
completely preserved inner part of the Hathor shrine. This season,
an additional three scenes on the southern and western walls of the
vestibule were traced.
The architectural documentation of the Hathor shrine was
verified and a complete photographic documentation was made of
the colonnade walls and pillars.
As a side project, the mission prepared restoration drawings
of the eastern wall of the solar chapel bearing two important solar
texts (Fig. 3). The drawings are the result of several years of
studies on fragments in the temple stores/ Copies of the drawings
were handed over to the Polish-Egyptian Restoration Mission
which plans to rebuild the wall during the next season of work.
