The chamber is dressed with small squared blocks laid against the large rough filling blocks on the northwest and south sides. The floor is either unfinished or almost wholly destroyed.

Dr. Reisner and myself spent all day in G 2381 A, having lunch tea and dinner served there. About one hundred sixty (160) objects were recorded and removed before 9:30 p.m. when we stopped work.
