Tutankhamun: Anatomy of an Excavation is ambitious in its scope but simple in its aims: to make the complete records of Howard Carter's excavation of the tomb of Tutankhamun available on these web pages. It is astonishing, but no longer acceptable, that some eighty years and thousands of articles, hundreds of books, and dozens of exhibitions after the discovery of the tomb, this most famous event in the history of Egyptian archaeology has not yet been fully published. The documentation is presented in its original form and all, scholars, interested members of the public and school students, can consult it. We hope that this will help bring the knowledge and love of ancient Egypt to everybody.
Carter assigned numbers 1 to 620(123) to the 5,398 objects found in the tomb (many of these numbers are groups of items):
Nos. 1 to 3 were from outside the tomb and the Staircase,
No. 4 was the first doorway,
Nos. 5 to 12 were from the Descending Passage,
No. 13 was the second doorway to the Antechamber,
Nos. 14 to 170 were from the Antechamber (No. 28 was the third doorway to the Burial Chamber),
No. 171 was the fourth doorway to the Annexe,
Nos. 172 to 260 were from the Burial Chamber (No. 256 was the King's mummy),
Nos. 261 to 336 were from the Treasury,
and Nos. 337 to 620(123) were from the Annexe.
