The tomb belongs to an 18th Dynasty ancient Egyptian named Nebamun, who was a scribe of the royal accounts in the presence, likely during the reign of Hatshepsut. [1] Later excavations have placed him in year 16 of the reign of Hatshepsut. [2] This person is not to be confused with the official Nebamun, known from the tomb paintings discovered in 1820.

The tomb was usurped by an official named Imiseba who was the Head of the Altar, and the Head of the temple scribes of the Estate of Amun during the reign of Ramesses IX. [3]

A Hungarian team has done excavations of the tomb more recently. A report from 2010 indicates there were four burial locations in the forecourt of the tomb and one in the passage inside the tomb which were investigated. The tomb remained at least 23 individuals from a variety of periods. [2]

One of the shafts in the forecourt predates the building of TT65 and held the remains of a King's Son, Overseer of the Foreign Lands, Penre. Excavations in 2009 had shown remains of canopic jars belonging to an individual named Sennefer (no titles known) and a lady named Sitamun. The shaft likely originally intended to hold the burial of Nebamun was never used. [2]
