Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the similarities between TT 358, TT 320 and, in its second stage, KV 39. In terms of both architecture and grave goods, it is suggested that these three tombs were all made for early Eighteenth Dynasty queens. That TT 358 was carved for Ahmose-Meryetamun is certain, whilst the suggestion that TT 320 was cut for Ahmose-Nofretari is defended. Although it is not certain for whom KV 39 may have been designed, the suggestion that it was Ahmose-Inhapi seems plausible.
