Clearing debris from street.

(2) East of G 2370
Found in debris: fragment inscribed limestone, fragment black granite statuette, two fragments of an inscribed limestone plaque, crystal pendant(?), faience amulet, two small fragments alabaster. Uncovered water channel for draining the area inside the pyramid enclosure wall. Where the cannel passed under the wall itself, was a single large block of limestone to take the weight of the wall, under which the channel passes. This seems to fix the position of the wall.
