There is no evidence the tomb was known to early explorers such as Wilkinson, Hay and Lepsius. The tomb was excavated in 1907 by the team of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was described in the 1920s by Norman de Garis Davies. In 1935, a passage from TT71 to TT120 was discovered. Since 1995 this tomb and TT89 were part of the Royal Ontario Museum Theban Tombs Project. In 1998, a map of the tomb was published by Kamp.
