- Research Activity
- Sub-structure: A group of four shafts belonging to F and G mastabas are connected through their burial-chambers. Super-structure: A long narrow corridor leads to the (eastern) entrance of the chapel where a niche in the southern wall is occupied by a standing man's huge statue. In the western wall, beside an unfinished false-door, another niche holds an unfinished group of three statues and in the eastern wall are two more niches with more group-statues.
