Work on
(1) G 4715 pits A and B
(2) G 4714 top and pit A
(3) G 4811 pit B
(4) front of G 4611 (G 4613)

(1) G 4715
In G 4715 A was found the front part of the basis (and toes of one foot) of a statuette [15-12-13] of hard yellow limestone (in two pieces). This was a separate piece pegged on the main piece [ILLUSTRATION]. In G 4715 was found fragments of several bowl (R.P. [red polished?] ware, recurved rims [ILLUSTRATION]) [15-12-17, 15-12-18], some faded faience cylinder beads [15-12-16], some gold leaf [15-12-15], and a mud sealing with seal impression [15-12-19].

This is undoubtedly the impression of the seal of an official of the pyramid of User-en-Ra [Niuserre]. The structure in which the pit occurs is not earlier than the complex G 4810 and this in turn is later than the causeway to G 5230 (i.e. later than G 5230)

Work continued on top of G 4714, beginning pit A to the northeast of O, a stone faced pit.

(3) G 4811
Pit G 4811 B built against the north face of G 4714, was cleared. The chamber is to the east with its long axis north and south. In the chamber, still in place, were the following: a fluted column and basis of an alabaster head rest [15-12-20] (possibly not the same one) [ILLUSTRATION], four limestone canopic jars, alabaster models [15-12-21], pottery models and fragments of wood. The coffin had been opened at the north
