G 6020 A: Down 10.70 meters.
Three large blocks of stone embedded in limestone rubbish had to be broken up and removed - thus slowing down progress.

(3) G 6030
G 6030 A: Reached bottom of pit at 17.25 meters: sand except at very bottom. [ILLUSTRATION] The chamber is large with a rock cut coffin in west. The sand has run in a slope from the doorway. But under the sand is a heap of limestone rubbish. In the sand, found a small Ptolemaic-Roman saucer, evidently intrusive, and two fragments of a bowl (Old Kingdom - R.P. of fine brown drab paste see December 2). Also several Old Kingdom potsherds, two fragments of stick (decorated by peeling off bands of bark), and another fragment of wood.
G 6030 B: Removed limestone rubbish from floor of chamber and sand plaster from covering of burial receptacle cut in floor. The skeleton is visible through the cracks lying on back, head north.
