NB III, p. 18 ff
See section on Trial Pits.
November 8, 1935Continue clearing the dromos. Toward evening we find a large dark area of disturbed earth near the surface. We hope that does not mean that the tomb has been plundered.
November 9Digging in the dromos continues, with four men. A late disturbance did not go down far, so one fear of plundering was allayed.
November 11Continue clearing the dromos. At a depth of 0.60 find two worked rectangular blocks: 0.82 x 0.63 x 0.25 and 0.98 x 0.64 x 0.20.
November 14Finish clearing dromos.
Photo D 7 of dromos.
The main door is closed by a large slab of sandstone. On the south side is another group of slabs, apparently closing another door. The main door is lined with rubble walls of unhewn stones.
November 15Start clearing the chamber. Several large plain pots come into sight well above the floor. Perhaps there were two burials in this tomb.
November 18Continue clearing the chamber, leaving a large pillar of earth in the center for additional support
November 20Start to open cupboard in dromos, but stop because of rain.
November 22Finish clearing cupboard and chamber.
