Publication of a doorjamb bearing a dedication of Ramses VII to his father Ramses VI found during the 2010 excavation season in the Ramesseum's Small Temple. Traces of an earlier inscription survive indicating reuse. It may have been the jamb of a house built in the vicinity of the Ramesseum. Although the counterpart to this doorjamb was found by B. Bruyère in Deir el-Medina in 1924, this recent discovery in the Ramesseum, and the nature of its earlier inscription, are sufficient grounds for identifying the temple of Ramses II as the place in which the ‘monument' dedicated by Ramses VII to his father could have been erected.
