The tomb was discovered and excavated by Howard Carter in 1902, in his role as Chief Inspector of Antiquities, on behalf of Theodore M.

[1] The tomb consists of a vertical shaft 3 metres (9.8 ft) deep ending in a small chamber which, when found, was a third full of debris.

"[1] The tomb contained the burials of a man and a woman, each interred in a set of two nested coffins, and accompanied by two boxes of clay ushabti; the remains of floral wreaths were scattered around.

Of the presumed original owner, Userhet, Overseer of the Fields of Amun, only fragments of alabaster canopic jars bearing his name were found.

[1][3] In 1991 the tomb was re-investigated by the Pacific Lutheran University Valley of the Kings Project headed by Donald P. Ryan.
