(1) Street G 7000 (continued)
G I-a, main street, The pyramid G I-a have been cleared to rock. The lowest course of the pyramid is laid with slanting stones.
[ILLUSTRATION]
The east line of the casing appears to be exactly in line with the east line of G I-b at the same level. Not a stone remains of the chapel and we can only make a plan of the cuts in the rock where it stood.
The trench in the hard debris (marked "wall trench" above) is perhaps the place of a wall (addition to temple?) from which the stone or brick has been removed.
West of the railroad line we have reached the north end of mastaba G 7110.
The loading point was shifted 17 meters northwards and there remains less than 10 meters of embankment to move.

Continued clearing pit of G 7110. The earth is dirty blown dust.
