G 6020 room d: Continued clearing G 6020 room d from above. In the drift sand under the tumbled layer of block noted yesterday we found today further blocks. The room was never roofed and all these blocks have fallen or been thrown into room d from the masonry on the front of the mastaba G 6020 and that on the back of mastaba G 6030. Some appear to be from the top casing of the mastabas thrown here in the search for the burial pits.
