Theodore Davis
.
Theodore Davis excavated in
the Valley of the Kings in the early 1900s.
One of his most important finds came in 1908 when, in searching for the
Tomb of Tutankhamun near the later tomb of Ramesses VI, he found items
including floral collars with inscriptions of Tutankhamun.
Although Davis did not find "Tut.'s" tomb, his discoveries
provided an essential clue on the actual location of this virtually
undisturbed 18th Dynasty tomb, leading to its discovery 14 years later
by Howard Carter in 1922.
