(1) Street G 7500
A new area has now been opened up northeast of that sketched yesterday. Here are a number of new pits, several mastabas, all much ruined and confused by late buildings, and other crude brick structures of very late date. A rough sketch plan is here shown:

[ILLUSTRATION]

The crude brick walls of G 7633 and G 7634 are manifestly late in date. They are built over the pit G 7635 which is very large and is clearly Dynasty 4. They are built upon a series of debris strata including from below upward __ disturbed Old Kingdom debris of mason's chips, broken and crumbled brickwork, brick walls (G 7634 east) dirty disturbed debris containing a number of burials, and more of the Old Kingdom debris. This will show the confused state of the ground. The south wall of G 7634 overhangs G 7635 so far that it was destroyed in the middle part, to enable this pit to be cleared with safety to the men. Several pits cannot yet be numbered until their relation to the surrounding structures can be determined. These include the slab-walled graves(?) between the brick wall of G 7634 and the stone wall of G 7637. Tomorrow this will be done. Very little in the way of objects has been recovered so far from this area.
