(1) Street G 7500 (continued)
G 7637 B: The block of this chamber was removed this morning. It consisted of a double wall of boulders resting on and mixed with fragments of limestone chips. In the midst of this original debris were found five or six fragments of a coarse red brown ware pot of Old Kingdom date one fragment showing rim [ILLUSTRATION]. Beyond the block a passage leads to the west, and out of this the chamber leads to the south. Opposite the door a large fragment of wooden could be seen with a door carved upon its upper (inner) surface. This rested on two limestone slabs. Another piece to the north lay on the ground which was sprinkled with black dust. In the room could just be seen the skeleton disordered lying among fragments of wooden coffin, and at the east side of the room two dom-palm(?) [cypress?-later] trunks lying side by side, tips towards north. The burial had evidently been disturbed but very anciently, probably by the original undertakers as there was no trace of a late penetration visible.
G 7639 C: Clearing chamber on west at depth of 6 meters. A late blue glaze double-spouted pot has been found here.

The eastern walls and doors of the exterior chapel of G 7510 have been dissected out today and the limits seem to have been found. They will be planned as soon as quite clear of the pit walls of G 7511 A and of G 7632 - G 7633.
