The 2021 fieldwork of The Ramesses III (KV 11) Publication and Conservation Project1 included the excavation of room H, the first upper layer of room I, the area behind pillars 1 to 7 in hall J (fol. aisle), and room Ja. Furthermore, consolidation work on pillars and the ceiling in the burial chamber began, and initial work for future conservation was carried out. Microbiological examination of the entire tomb took place to gain data for health precautions and in support of conservation. Finally, our research and the development of a site management plan proceeded successfully and will lead to the publication of KV 11 in the future.
