In the mixed limestone and dark debris in the shaft A of 2097 [= G 3097] was a rough flint flake, G34. B is also filled with similar debris. Shafts C-E and F of 2097 [= G 3097] are cleared and D is partly finished. All are filled with sand and limestone, dirty debris. Four shafts, A to D, of mastaba 2096 [= G 3096] are now cleared. This is a rectangular mastaba, built between 2095 [= G 3095] and 2097 [= G 3097], a small space being left between it and the latter.

West of 2096 [= G 3096] is another almost square mastaba 3003; this has two offering chambers, the outer one, X, is formed partly by the rear wall of 2096 [= G 2096], and the front wall of its own mastaba; the second chamber, Y, which is connected with X by a vaulted passage, is built within the body of the mastaba. Both are filled with sand, underneath which is a mass of hard packed dirty debris.

When I speak of a shaft being cleared it…
