Media View
Wadi Cemetery (Reisner; north of W. Cem)
Remarks
Two tombs appear to have been numbered GW 1; one "in trial pit in path of upper dump heap" with burial excavated in January 1904 (the exact location of which is unknown), one small mud and rough stone mastaba, apparently with burial unexcavated, that appears with wood marker numbered "1" in photos of eastern edge of wadi cemetery.
Problems/Questions
view from E changed to looking W; original photo register entry read " GW 1-5"; description altered to include specific tomb numbers based on wood markers visible in image and comparison with other photos of area, no marker for GW 2 visible in image (GW 2 located E of GW 3 and not visible in image)
