(6) South of G 2475
South of that mastaba. In exposing the remains of the lining of the mastaba which we discovered on March 29, sand, limestone debris and rubble. Exposed the lining of that mastaba and we exposed that it continued with G 2469 on south, and we are sure now that the mastaba G 2469b is part from the lining of that mastaba. It is a big mastaba but lining gone on south and part of east and west. So we changed the number of the mastaba G 2469b to G 2476. It is a stone mastaba. East of G 2467, west of G 2471-G 2474, north of G 2469 and south of G 2475. Contains seven shafts, including the three exposed shafts and were used to belong before to G 2469b. The shafts lettered A-F, X, not yet started with them.
East of that mastaba in the street between it and G 2474 is a small stone mastaba numbered G 2476a.
