Excavator: George Andrew Reisner
American, 1867–1942
Shafts: G 2382 A; G 2382 B
Remarks: Originally thought by Reisner to be a separate mastaba, but now known to be an open court for the Senedjemib Complex. Found containing a jumbled deposit of limestone blocks from other nearby tombs. The sloping passage tomb G 2382 A attributed to Nekhebu (G 2381) was mistakenly associated with G 2382, although it is located much farther to the east. G 2382 B seems to have been another shaft located east of G 2382 A and north of G 2381 C (see Vol.04.p.065), but it is not marked on maps of the area.
