OTHER ACTIVITIES
 

Recording of the Finds
Thanks to the creation of databases (in MS Access 2002) specifically designed for the archaeological activities in the tomb of Harwa, we were able to store almost all the data (with the exception of that from the 1999 season) concerning the finds recovered since the beginning of the excavation. More than 2500 objects were stored in the databases.

Architectural Activities
The architect Dieter Eigner completed the drawings of the subterranean parts of the tomb. These were digitised by the architect Silvia Bertolini using Autocad 2002 with the aim of obtaining a virtual reconstruction of the tomb (Fig. 8).

Study of the Finds
Professor Lorelei Corcoran of the University of Memphis, Tennessee studied all the fragments of wooden coffin and cartonnage found during the excavations. In addition to providing clearer indication of the date of each, her study, led to the reunion of various fragments belonging to a single coffin.
