VG p. 139. 9-10 Tomb 9, from E end of Wall A (tomb not fully cleared). VG p. 139. 11 W side of Wall A fully cleared. VG p. 139. 12 E end of Wall A fully cleared. VG p. 139. 13-14 E end of Wall A during process of removal of end stones. VG p. 139. 15 Entrance to Tomb 9, with long cut stone; from ca. W.

VG p. 141. (Cf. 4-6) 17 Tr. 43 extension, S scarp and martyra of stroma (?) left from last year. VG p. 145. 18 Tr. 43 extension, area S of Wall A; "hump of Earth" distinguished by color and hardness from surrounding fill, and thought perhaps to be dromos fill leading to oblique entrance to Tomb 1. VG p. 144. 19 Tr. 43 extension, area S of Wall A, from NE; like 17, but better illuminated and from further away, showing "hump of earth" (cf 18).

Part of lower stratum of dromos fill in place on floor and against backing stones of Wall C; note that it covered the outer corner of the long cut stone; the diagonal line on the floor is that of the section (cf 4-6 above), the floor having been first cleared to rock E of the section line, leaving a small sample of the lower stratum which in the picture looks like a step along beside the long cut stone. VG p. 153. 23-24 Men "working" over Tr. 43 - 43/75. VG p. 157. 25 Tr. 43 extension after removal of "hump of earth" and also (by error) of part of its earth mould. VG p. 159.
