Excavations at Mut el-Kharab continued with the exploration of the Temple of Seth and associated buildings to the west, and large mudbrick structures inside the south-east corner of the temenos. The excavations revealed a block from a shrine dating to the Middle Kingdom with the inscription of the 'mayor and chief of priests' or the deity Igai. So far only few sherds of possible Middle Kingdom date have been found at Mut el-Kharab. Future work will clarify further.
