BAMBOULA, TOMB 19 (cont.)

15 May 1939Clear the dromos, found in extending trench 21. We have a section on the west side to show the stratification. The dromos is filled with firm brown earth.

Niches are found on the east and south sides, each closed with a stone slab. A cutting in the east wall of the dromos probably indicates another niche, destroyed.

Photos Bam. '39, 186-187, before opening niches.
