Special attention was paid to the funerary equipment form the tomb of Amenhotep III in the Western Valley of the Kings, which was excavated by Waseda University Expedition since 1991. The funerary equipment that was found before Waseda mission worked are stored in the Museums in Europe and USA. They were also studied during the research term.
