(2) Street G 7500
Work continues in three pits in this street, as yesterday.
G 7510 G: In the west chamber at bottom of this pit two graves were found sunk in the rock floor and covered with slabs. These were mapped and opened. That to the north was found somewhat perished, the bones sticking out from cakes of mud. Head west. That to the south was in good condition. Body prone on back, hands crossed on pelvis, head east. Probably female. This was left for photography.
G 7632 A: Chamber on southwest acts as entrance hall for several smaller chambers; there are four pits in the floor leading to other chambers. That to southeast has blocking still in the doorway.
Room 2. Here to north and south are the disturbed bones of an earlier burial displaced by a large and massive wooden anthropoid coffin, head east. The coffin has collapsed and its fragments fill the small room. Near the knees on both sides and over the shins of the body inside this coffin were found a very large number of small blue glaze ushabti, of Dynasties 27 - 31. Several of these bore the crudely written inscription here given [GLYPHS]. To the south alongside the coffin were remains of palm-logs used for rolling it into place. Remains also appeared under the head. Around the neck had been a fine collar of small ring and cylinder beads of faience. [ILLUSTRATION]
