Sennedjen was a workman at Deir el Medina who lived at the beginning of the 19th Dynasty. This is what Morris Bierbrier says about his intact tomb in his little book "The Tomb-builders of the Pharaohs": "His mummy, coffins and funerary equipment were recovered as well as those of his wife, Iineferti, his sons Khons, his daughter-in-law Tameket, and a lady Isis who may have been a granddaughter or daughter-in-law, or both if she married her uncle. Coffins and funerary objects of other members of the family were also found. The tomb had evidently been used for two generations of family burials. The objects were all taken to Cairo, but were unfortunately dispersed before adequate documentation was compiled. Sennedjen and his wife who had lain side by side for millennia were rudely divorced. as were their son, Khons, and his wife Tameket. Iineferti and her son, Khons, were awarded to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where their coffins now rest. Their mummies, however, were transferred to the Peabody Museum in Cambridge, Mass. Tameket journeyed to the Berlin Museum, while her father-in-law, Sennedjen, remained behind in Cairo. Some of the minor finds were also kept in Cairo but others were scattered to Paris, Copenhagen and Moscow."

Gaston Maspero, himself, excavated the tomb. A Spaniard, Eduardo Toda, made the most detailed notes of the discovery although by modern standards these were woefully inadequate.
