(2) G 6036
Finished clearing G 6036. This mastaba was built against and over the causeway which leads up to the floor of the area north of G 6040, and over the filling of the fissure which is crossed by the said causeway. There is a difference of about 180 cm between the rock east of G 6036 and the rock on which G 6040 was built (i.e. the floor north of G 6040).
[ILLUSTRATION]
Thus G 6036 has no south wall except where the south wall rises above the causeway.
