(1) G 2320 [= G 5280]
G 2320 I [= G 5280 I]: In shaft. Lined with mud brick above for 1.55 meters and underneath one stone course and rock below. It is west of mastaba G 2320. Down 4.75 meters. White limestone debris, dubsh and underneath sand mixed with limestone debris, and some papers. Chamber appears on the beginning of the building on top. On south lined with dubsh. Roof gone. No blocking. Excavated before. Not reached the rock in shaft. Chamber not yet exposed. We search for the big shaft in the mastaba, because all the shafts are small. We found shaft G 2320 I and we exposed the small chamber first. Then the Mudir order[ed] us to dig again in this shaft, because they exposed the small shaft before, and the Mudir told us that we did not excavate this shaft before. We began to dig into this shaft. Drawing on page 112.
