(1) G 2165
On top of mastaba in exposing the lining on east. Sand, limestone debris and rubble. Exposed the lining of the mastaba is a stone mastaba partly destroyed on east and north. It is east of G 2160, west of G 4980 and G 2180 and south of G 2166 and G 2167. East of the lining in the street, which is running to the east, between G 4980 and G 2180, appears a new mastaba not yet numbered. In the lining of G 2165 on east two stone on the floor (perhaps places of two stelae and the stelae removed from them). In front of the north stone we found, inscribed offering basin in sunk relief [39-10-4]. Left in place for photo. Eight shafts were excavated before, A-H, but now they are filled with debris from Junker's dump. The shafts not drawn before. Not started with them. Drawing of mastaba.
