  • Remarks
    In G 2301 B, the skeleton of burial B1 is actually lying almost directly on top of the roofing stones covering burial B2. This is why only one shaft B appears on map EG000498. Additionally, although this map shows shaft B at some distance east of the mastaba wall of G 5190, photos of burials B1 and B2 show shaft B right up against the mastaba wall.
