archaeological context | |
remarks on archaeological context | The burial pit (100 × 60 cm, 110 cm deep) filled with rubble contained an oval pottery coffin. A small mastaba (172 ×122 cm, 110 cm heigh) filled with gravel covered the pit. The niches appear to be on the east side due to the proximity of the neighboring tombs. |
