(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.
[ILLUSTRATION]
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.
