(3) G 4812
Work continued in the sloping passage G 4812 E in sand and dirt. The stopper blocks are still in place, but an entrance made by plunderers was found over them. The chamber of G 4812 E was finished; it contained fragments of limestone canopic jars.
The people who entered this passage went down through a pile of debris, and must have known of the place before. It is inconceivable that modern plunderers should have gone straight down to this place from above. The sand in the passage was not recent drift sand.
