(6) G 2471
A stone mastaba with its southwest corner broken away. It is east of G 2469 - G 2469b, north of G 2469a and west of G 2472; contains of eight shafts, A-E, X, Y, Z; not started with them. We found east of G 2471 and north of the roof of the chamber X. Round limestone offering stone inscribed all around in incised inscriptions, north of it offering basin inscribed all around in incised inscriptions, both found in original place and left in place for photo.

(7) G 2472
A stone partly destroyed mastaba. Destroyed on south beside shaft Z; in the lining on east at the south is a jamb, perhaps was a place of a stele and now removed. Lining on north not yet exposed. Exposed the shafts of the mastaba, and they are shafts, A, B, X, Y, Z; but not started in them. Also exposed a serdab, built of stones, running east-west and partly destroyed on north and west. Roof gone; total depth 50 centimeters. Cleared on limestone debris.

(8) G 2472a
That mastaba is east of G 2471 and north of G 2472 and G 2196. Exposed two shafts in that place, they are between G 2472 and G 2196. There is not any mastaba to which these shafts may belong so we numbered them G 2472a A and B; they are north of G 2196, south of G 2472 and east of G 2469a and not started with them.
