G 2019c

Western Cemetery

Details

  • Excavator
    George Andrew Reisner, American, 1867–1942
  • Site Type
    Mud-brick+rubble mastaba
  • Shafts
    G 2019c B
  • Remarks
    G 2019c has a single shaft B and is built against the northern wall of G 2019b. Reisner initially called this shaft B in G 2019b and subsequently decided it should be a separate mastaba. This causes some confusion in the documentation. Unpublished Reisner manuscript GN3_L11_p076 clearly describes G 2019b with a single shaft A and G 2019c with a single shaft B. Plan EG000497 shows shaft B north of G 2019b A, but does not label it as G 2019c which suggest to the viewer that shaft B is part of G 2019b.
