(1) G 6010
G 6010 A: Greenlees planned and removed the fragments of the floor of G 6010 A (on mason's debris). The layer of small bones (bat?) on this floor was about 2 cm[???] deep and under this was about 3 cm of bones and limestone chips mixed. Under this layer was the original floor - rock with depression filled with mason's debris. The objects were mostly in this layer of bones and chip. The alabaster table-top (circular) is now complete but the stem-foot is missing. The alabaster headrest lacks the stem [ILLUSTRATION]. There are twenty two model alabasters, one jar [ILLUSTRATION] and the rest saucers. There are seventeen plus copper models - adze, chisel, drill, etc. A wooden model of axe? [ILLUSTRATION]
A plaster ear and a plaster beard [ILLUSTRATION] from mummy. On the rock floor of doorway are the remains of the original door block so that the part of a block previously observed was secondary (thieves?).
