Other progress in this area may be summarized thus:
G 7801 A, C, D: cleared; chamber on west; already open.
G 7802 A: no true pit.
G 7802 B, D: clearing pits; robbers' debris.
G 7802 E: cleared; chamber on west.
G 7803 B: cleared; chamber on west.
G 7803 C: clearing pit; robbers' debris.
G 7810: cleared.
G 7811: cleared.
G 7812: The rooms along the north westward tunnel are going to be abandoned as they entail fruitless work which is not likely to produce results. All are confused before breaks through of late date.

No objects have been found in position in this area.
