July 6Tomb 19 The northern part of tomb 19 was robbed from above in antiquity, the shaft cut by the robbers proceeding into the bed-rock floor. The bones in this part are disturbed, but lying on the floor, as is also the (broken) pottery.
Due to the danger of caving in, as the tomb is very large and the earth in the robbed part is not very secure, we leave a column of earth in the N-E corner.
