I have been neglecting this comm terribly; I'm very sorry. Real life, etc etc. So I have come with some new links to share.
There is a new photo archive for Deir el-Medina; it aims to be very comprehensive. Since you are not allowed to take photos inside the tombs *cough*, this site may be especially useful for that. The photography is decent and the text quite informative and referenced; it's worth a look.
The Oxford Expedition to Egypt has opened their new site. It includes a database of Old Kingdom scene details. The database is housed at ArchSearch, which is quite an interesting place, and the OEE specific site is searchable by scene type gathered under 15 broad themes, for example the theme "Marsh-Related Activities" includes 28 scenes like "Fighting Boatmen" and "Hippopotamus Hunt." You can then view an example drawing of this scene (in some cases) or query which tombs contain this scene; the list of tombs includes a Porter & Moss reference as well as other publication references. It has the potential to be quite useful.
CESRAS.org is the home page for the Centre for Egyptological Studies in the Russian Academy of Sciences (in English) and their page of the month this month is about a leather tent that is the top of a funerary shine (and badly in need of funds for conservation). It's quite interesting, especially since leather generally preserves poorly.
