Street G 7200, front of G 7220 and chapel of G 7210. Continued clearing front of G 7220. The debris is as before - disturbed debris above destroyed casing and drift sand with casing blocks below.

G 7220 also has a niche at north end, really in front of G 7221. The two twin mastabas are alike in having two chapels and a secondary niche (probably two). The northern chapel was probably for the wife.

Limestone casing is core construction throughout.
G 7210 A was never made at all.
G 7210 B and north chapel were probably used for wife.
G 7221 A was unfinished.
G 7220 A and south chapel were for the man.
G 7220 B was unused.
Originally, G 7210 and G 7220 were intended to be two separate mastabas each with two pits A for wife and B for man.
