The tomb of Amenhetep III is located in the Western Valley of the Kings. It was discovered by two French engineers attached to Napoleon's Egyptian expedition, who superficially explored the tomb and found several fine fragments of stone shabti-figures. In February 1915, Howard Carter made a complete clearance of the interior of the tomb with sponsorship from the fifth Earl of Carnavon. He also excavated outside the entrance, where he found a number of foundation deposits. Many fragments from Carter's clearance are now at Highclere Castle. The re-clearance of the tomb of Amenhetep III was carried out by the Waseda University Egypt Archaeological Mission, over ten seasons from September 1989. Work within the tomb brought to light a range of interesting finds. Excavation outside the entrance uncovered a layer of sand and rubbish carried from the inside by Carter's men. This area yielded many small objects, including a further intact foundation deposit consisting of a basket with several small pottery vessels and wooden model implements.
