The shafts of mastabas 2083-2086 [= G 3083-G 3086] are mostly cleared. In shaft D of 2083 [= G 3083] were fragments of a red-polished bowl. Between 2085 [= G 3085] and 2098 [= G 3098] are sand and hard packed debris in which were the fragments of a fine stele, complete. In a niche in the East face of 2098 [= G 3098], north of center, (photo. C66) was a small statuette of mud, covered with stucco. This could not be preserved. Near the north east corner of east face of 2098 [= G 3098] was an inscribed limestone stele =G53a; and below it in the floor was an offering slab =G53b. These belonged to a woman caller Nefer-hetep-es-wer. In this offering were other fragments of another inscribed limestone stele. The shafts of 2098 [= G 3098] are being cleared of sand and dark debris, as also the sand from top of 2099 [= G 3099] and dark debris from shafts A and B of the same mastaba. Just west of the little room X of 2086 [= G 3086] already described, is the entrance passage to the offering room of this mastaba which is lettered Y. At the eastern end of this entry was a small slab of red granite =G45, built into the floor, which, like the slab inside the little room, belonged to Ruwz and Mesat. A burial shaft between 2095 [= G 3095] and 2098 [= G 3098] has been cleared. Two views over the excavations were taken today, C58, looking south of west; and C59 south west.
