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
margin note stating "C10014 through C10028 taken in reverse order to present numbering" is not acurate, photos appear to be numbered out of sequence; GW 001 corrected to read GW 1; view from S changed to looking N
