Hi Martin,
Yes your right in that she is not confirming the "in situ"application of the Khufu cartouche, but one might construed that its being implied by her statement of there being plaster on the ceiling blocks, ergo cartouche over plaster , to which the implications are obvious .
As Colette went on to say .
".I later found out that I WAS CORRECT, that there was indeed plaster on the ceilings AND in THAT particular chamber.…"

The only other possible way out of the cartouche being applied in situ is for the plaster to have been applied before the block got installed, would they have done that ?
