摘要

On February 15, 1906, the Italian archaeological mission, led by the director of Museo Egizio, Ernesto Schiaparelli, discovered the shaft of a tomb which had been sealed by a landslide. The shaft led down to one of the greatest archaeological discovery in Egypt, the intact burial assemblage of two upper-class individuals, the “director of works” Kha and his wife Merit, who lived during the XVIII Dyn. (around 1400 B.C.). Schiaparelli was granted permission to bring the 440 objects found in the tomb to Turin, leaving only a few objects in Cairo, and since then the grave goods of Kha and Merit is exhibited at the Museo Egizio.
The Museo Egizio entrusted us with the analysis and scientific study of wooden objects as part of a multidisciplinary research programme, titled “TT8 Project”, aiming to publish the first full study of the grave goods of Kha for the bicentennial of the Museo Egizio in 2024. It is a unique opportunity to observe a well dated and localized collection and we use different techniques to make our samples. From the in situ observation with a dino 54light and the micro samples making, to the observation with different microscopes and even a synchrotron, we present here our first results.
