BAMBOULA, TOMB 8 NB VII, p. 49

Tomb 8 is listed among plundered tombs in NB VII, p. 49, but there is no description of the excavation, and although finds from plundered tombs are listed together, none appears from Tomb 8.

Handwritten: P2639-41 are assigned to this tomb (catalogued in Philadelphia, presumably from etiquettes since no notebook reference given in catalog does not really concern objects in the notebook).
