Friday, January 23, 1925 (continued)

(3) Street G 7400 and G 7420 (continued)
The exterior chapel of G 7420 is now clear. A plan is given herewith, to scale of 1:100. The whole is paved with a stone flooring.

Several unfinished spouted limestone bowls were found in and slightly to the south of this chapel in the lower debris.

(4) Street G 7800
Work in this area continues to reveal a complex of poor graves and several mastabas. In G 7801 was found the painted head and bust of a fine Old Kingdom private statuette. Still no planning is advisable till tomorrow.

(5) G 7510
The men are now searching to north and south of pit B for a second pit.
Rowe and I descended pit B and entered chamber. Here the rough surface rock has been fairly dressed and then lined with close-fitting blocks of limestone masonry. The roof is cracked owing to the poor character of the rock and the great weight above it. The masonry blocks bear ell-level marks on the east and west walls in red paint. Two bear also mason's inscriptions.
a) third block from east: fifth course: south wall

b) second block from west: fifth course: north wall
