The funerary chapels of Merefnebef, Nyankhnefertem and Chapel 16 were reopened in order to survey the general conservation state of wall decoration and bedrock. Thick and wide salt concentrations were observed on the walls of Chapel 15 (Nyankhnefertem). Their form varies, both inside the chapel and on the façade was either easily removable stiff crust, tiny grains or down. Multiple concentrations of efflorescence typical of gypsum crystallization were noted on the northern part of the east wall. This differentiation is due to stratification and physico-chemical particularities of the rock. Conservation work in this campaign also concerned small objects discovered in earlier campaigns (1998–1999, 2004 – cartonnages) and in 2005.
