Clearing the water-channel east of mastaba, which drained the Pyramid area. This is cut in the rock, 60 cms deep and 1.0 metres wide, with a masonry conduit in it. Several pits have later been cut down through it; i.e. G 2387 A, 2350 C, D, X, previously excavated. The water-channel goes north to the limits of our area, and appears to go on under the road which M. Baraize has made to his house, finishing presumably at the edge of the cliff.
