  • Site Type
    Mud-brick mastaba
  • Remarks
    ABC 803 appears to have existed before ABC 807, which was built against the east face of ABC 803 and against the south face of ABC 809. The lower third of the east wall of ABC 806 is built against the north wall of ABC 805 but the upper two-thirds are bonded with the north wall of ABC 805, so it looks like this was a single construction project. ABC 808 is built against the east face of ABC 807 and the south face of ABC 809.
