Tomb 13

30-3-39 (13+14)

Margin left: These are not the Br. Mus. tombs, and were / apparently not dug then. See tomb 17-17A

Discover two tombs adjoining (cut by early plunderers or by accident in antiquity), at the west end of the easternmost rock ledge of the lower level in lot 236. These two tombs appear to be # 53+102 of the British Museum expedition. They are clearly plundered, and great masses of pottery thrown in heaps at the edges of the tomb. It certainly looks as if all native (and some imported) pottery were left in the tomb. The plunderers did not clear all of the tomb(s), but left several pillars of earth standing, to hold up the roof
