The tomb KV53 is located in the Valley of the Kings, in Egypt. It was discovered in 1906 by Edward R. Ayrton during excavations conducted on behalf of Theodore Davis. KV53 consists of a single chamber at the end of a shaft and had been looted in antiquity.
An ostracon dedicated to Meretseger was found within KV53, naming 'Hora, chief scribe of the Place of Truth'. Between 2009 and 2010, new excavations took place in the area around KV53, revealing 18th Dynasty blue painted pottery, tools, and various ostraca. These included a sketch of a seated queen and depictions of sexual scenes with women and animals, along with cartouches of Ramesses II.
