Tomb 12

The dromos and doorstones are drawn and photographed, after which α is opened. Chamber α is a medium-sized tomb which appears wholly preserved. No collapse from the roof, and a a thin layer of slimy clay covers the floor surface. Clearing is begun. After completed clearing, measuring & photography, the vessels are taken out.
