==Location, discovery and excavation== KV37 is located in a side branch of the southern side valley, just below the tomb of Thutmose III (KV34). Cut into the cliff base near the stairs to KV34, it is now well below the modern ground level. The tomb was discovered by Egyptologist Victor Loret in 1899; his excavation mentioned finds of ostraca and artefacts bearing the names of Thutmose IV and Seti I. The tomb also evidently contained pottery vessels, that Elizabeth Thomas noted.
