of the unwrapped dog and monkey mummies in KV50 The tomb is located on the same rocky promontory as
KV49, in the side valley that leads towards KV35. It is at a slightly higher level than KV49, and is located to the west of that tomb. KV50 was the first of a cluster of three tombs discovered by Edward R. Ayrton in his clearance of this part of the valley on behalf of Theodore Davis. The entrance was buried under of debris. The tomb consists of a shaft, deep and square, which opens to the south onto a chamber long and wide. This was found partly filled with debris from the shaft. Ayrton noted that the tomb had been thoroughly robbed in antiquity, though from the presence of wooden fragments it likely once held a coffin. No trace was found of the tomb owner's name. The only occupants of the chamber were two animal mummies, posed against one wall. ==Recent excavations==
