Monday, January 4, 1926 (continued)

(1) Pyramid G I-c
Finished clearing G I-c chamber and swept out anteroom and passage about 4 p.m. The anteroom has been reconstructed for late burials (two box burials). And cuts have been made in the rock floor of the main chamber for the same purpose.

The sloping passage is 14.91 meters long (measured horizontally) and drops 7.89 meters in that distance.

(2) Avenue G 3
The gang from G I-c chamber began about 4 p.m. to clear away the late wall resting on debris at the east end of Avenue G 3. These walls have been mapped (in red) by Wheeler and photographed.

(3) Pyramid G I-c (east face)
The main gang continued clearing debris of decays from the east face of pyramid G I-c, until noon. The relationship of the various fragments of masonry is not yet clear.
