Wednesday, November 25, 1925 (continued)

(1) G 6010
Finished clearing room e of G 6010. The rock had been covered to a depth of ca. 50 cm with clean mason's debris the top of which was trodden smooth and formed the floor of the room. The floor was broken up except between the pillars. [ILLUSTRATION]
In the southern wall are three slits leading to the large serdab. Thieves had broken through the western slit, but the hole is too narrow for any ordinary sized statuette to pass through. The serdab was nearly full of drift sand and otherwise contained no fragments even. The statues were probably of wood. The roof of the serdab of massive limestone slabs is still intact.

(2) G 6010
G 6010 A: Cleared away the drift sand inside the entrance and the chamber of G 6010 A. [ILLUSTRATION] The floor was covered with a layer of mason's debris (probably to keep burial dry). On the surface of this was scattered two pieces of alabaster headrest, fragment of an alabaster circular table, two small alabaster offering dishes (models) and half of a third, four potsherds. The surface is covered with a thin layer of mouse or bat bones and in this are a few copper model tools, fragments alabaster [ILLUSTRATION], one and one-half model alabaster dishes, piece of wood, and one R.P. bowl (recurved rim). The bones of the burial are scattered in coffin, on edge of coffin and on floor. In coffin an alabaster disk-lid.
