Street G 7400: east of G 7420 and G 7410.
Work continued in the street on the east side to the east of the interior chapel of G 7420 and for about 8.5 meters to the northwards. A fragment of limestone relief was found here.
On the west side of the street men were working in the surface debris of Ptolemaic age a few meters to the north. A series of Ptolemaic mummies were found buried in the debris between 7.40 meters and 11 meters south of the interior chapel of G 7410 against the wall of that mastaba and for about a meter eastwards into the street. To the south of these, also against the wall of the mastaba was found a Ptolemaic grave built of rough limestone blocks and containing fragments of a decayed body. It leveled up with about 25 to 100 cm below the top of the fourth course of masonry of the mastaba G 7420.

(3) Street G 7800
Several mastabas found here and numbered serially G 7801 etc. They will be planned tomorrow as the scheme is still very confused.
