Abstract
In 2000, the Institute of Ancient Egyptian Studies (Madrid) undertook a clean-up project, partial re-excavation of the surroundings of the TT353 of the Butler of Amun Sen-en-Mut in Deir El Bahari, together with a new epigraphic study of the monument and its significance. In 2003, field work began. In 2008 the project was completed, handing over the monument to the Egyptian authorities for potential opening for visitation. The results obtained have been the subject of the publication of the corresponding report of the works carried out together with the hieroglyphic texts of the hypogeum, (published in extenso for the first time since the discovery of the monument in 1927).
