_Hall (C)_ had its doorway bricked two-thirds up with crude mud-bricks and _Tafle_ mortar, and the remaining third of its opening with similar bricks but with a mud mortar (Pl. LVI), showing that it had been opened and re-closed a second time. The mortar-bed of mud for this last closing was found in the central passage (Pls. LV, LVI. 14) just as it was left by the ancient mason. _Chamber (A)_ had its doorway completely closed with flat mud-bricks, and the outer surface smeared over with _Tafle_ stucco (Pl. LVII, above the coffin to the left), which was stamped in numerous places with a seal giving the _Nebti_ name [Illustration: hieroglyph] of Thothmes I (see Pl. LVIII. 1). _Chamber (B)_ had its entrance blocked by a heap of stones piled before it and a coffin placed in front (Pl. LIX. 1). Behind these bricked-up doorways was the greater mass of the burials that were stored in the tomb. From whence all these burials came we have no evidence to show us at present, nor can we tell for certain the reason for their being concealed in this particular tomb. It is possible that, while clearing the ground for the great dromos of Dêr el Bahari, and during the preparation of its ‘Valley’-Temple, stray interments were disturbed, and that this tomb being so situated that it must necessarily be covered by the ‘Valley’-Temple, it was used by the pious officials of the Theban Necropolis as a place of concealment (see position of tomb in relation to the temple, Pl. XXX). The seal impressions stamped upon the wall that closed chamber (_A_), we have just seen, give the _Nebti_ name of Thothmes I, and thus we have a date for the time when some of the coffins were re-interred, and probably the date when the above monument must have been begun. The scattered manner in which the coffins were placed in the different chambers and passages of the tomb, and the fact that one of the chambers (_C_) had been re-opened and re-closed, tends to show that they were not placed in the tomb at one time, which is in favour of the theory that they really were disturbed interments stored there from time to time during the course of some work. The latest date found among the objects of the whole cache was Thothmes III, and that name occurred only on one object--a small scarab (Pl. LXXII. 53 from burial No. 53, p. 80). The two chambers in the corridor (_A_, _B_) contained eight and four separate coffins respectively; the hall (_C_) at the end of the passage had fourteen; in the pit (_D_), piled from bottom to top, were eighteen cases; and in the bottom crypt (_E_) was another batch of eight sarcophagi. Thus, counting also those lying about the open corridor and passage which numbered twelve, we obtain a total of sixty-four coffins. Besides these there were also twenty-eight other objects pertaining to funeral equipments.
