- Remarks
- Reisner cleared old (4th dynasty?) dump material, perhaps from construction G 2000, from the wadi cemetery north of G 2000 with 75 men from December 9, 1903 to January 13, 1904. After excavating about 80 mudbrick tombs with little value, he selected this area to dump all the material cleared from the NW corner of the Western Cemetery.
