If you want great accuracy you do this both sides of the base line & thus get a perpendicular 120 m long with three stakes, C', A, C', which you can extend with a string in either direction setting stakes at convenient intervals. After that you get each points (ends of strings run in dromoi for instance) by measuring to it from any two stakes in the base line & the perpendicular. Strings run down through the dromos should always when possible be carried straight through the tomb chamber on to the base line for the whole plan of dromos & chamber. All that is probably superfluous.
