- Remarks
- This mastaba was excavated by Abu-Bakr and recleared as part of the 2000 Cairo Univ - Brown Univ Expedition. Both the anonymous rock-cut chapel and the one belonging to Minnefer have associated anterooms within the stone-built mastaba, and the anonymous complex (ABC 834-850) also contains a small vestibule. Built against Minnefer’s anteroom, the anonymous anteroom and vestibule (as well as the associated chapel) are clearly later in date, but how much later is impossible to tell.
