Historical Note<br />

In the preface to his A History of the <strong>Giza</strong> Necropolis, Volume I (Cambridge, Mass: Harvard<br />

University Press, 1942, p. ix), Egyptologist George A. Reisner (1867–1942) described his plan for<br />

forthcoming additional chapters and volumes in the <strong>Giza</strong> Necropolis series. Upon his death at <strong>Giza</strong> in<br />

June 1942, 4,000 typewritten manuscript pages for these <strong>Giza</strong> Necropolis volumes lay in various<br />

stages of preparation. At the closing of “Harvard Camp” on the <strong>Giza</strong> Plateau in 1947, these pages,<br />

along with other Harvard University—Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition archives, were<br />

shipped to the MFA in Boston. While the chapters and pages are not “clean” enough for traditional<br />

printed publication, they nevertheless contain critical information on the <strong>Giza</strong> excavations not<br />

available elsewhere. Hundreds of mastaba tombs are described in detail, accompanied by<br />

interpretative chapters on funerary architecture, Old Kingdom royal and private family genealogies,<br />

burial equipment, and other topics.<br />

This digital document contains scanned images of one chapter from A History of the <strong>Giza</strong> Necropolis,<br />

Volume II, written by Reisner and edited by him and his staff during the 1930s and 1940s. The<br />

original manuscript pages remain in the archives of the Egyptian Section of the Art of the Ancient<br />

World Department of the MFA. After Reisner’s death, his assistant and successor, William<br />

Stevenson Smith (1907–1969), published a much shorter volume with the same name, focusing on<br />

the shaft tomb of Queen Hetepheres I (G 7000 X), and ceramic and stone vessel typologies. Thus,<br />

the published <strong>Giza</strong> Necropolis II (Hetepheres) is completely different from the pages contained in<br />

this previously unpublished <strong>Giza</strong> Necropolis II (interpretive chapters). See below for preferred<br />

citation information.<br />

Navigating the Manuscript<br />

Two identical manuscripts for <strong>Giza</strong> Necropolis II were created (1 typed original, 1 carbon copy) and<br />

edited differently from each other. One page was selected to represent both versions in the PDF<br />

reconstruction. Choosing the best representative page means that some PDF page images are from<br />

one version and some are from the alternate version. (Very occasionally, both versions of a page will<br />

appear in the PDF.) By using the markup tools available in Adobe Acrobat 7.0, selected pages were<br />

annotated as follows:<br />

Symbol Key<br />

A Blue square in the upper left corner of a page indicates that it is from the alternate version<br />

of the manuscript (used instead of the primary). The version designated as primary and the<br />

version designated as alternate is arbitrary. There is no clear evidence as to which was the<br />

intended, final version. Generally, the copy with more handwritten notations was selected<br />

as primary.<br />

Green squares with black text duplicate significant handwritten notes found on the alternate<br />

version of the manuscript that are different or missing from the page chosen for the PDF.<br />

Yellow squares with black text are used to clarify a handwritten note that is difficult to read,<br />

or to explain something about the page.<br />

Printing<br />

The original manuscript pages measure 25 cm. by 35 cm. (9.75" x 13.65"). In the U.S., this is<br />

closest to modern legal size paper (8.5" x 14"). Note: Paper size is an option under “Page Setup”<br />

under the “File” menu in Adobe Acrobat. To print correctly, in the Adobe Acrobat Printing<br />

Options, under “Comments and Forms” choose “Document and Markup” and under “Page Scaling”<br />

choose “Fit to Printer Margins.” The legibility of handwritten margin notes will depend on the<br />

resolution of your printer. The higher the resolution, the better the reproduction.<br />

Searching<br />

The PDF pages are partially searchable. All the pages were put through an optical character reader<br />

(OCR). However, the character recognition of old-fashioned typewritten text is not perfect,<br />

especially on pages with numerous handwritten notes, hieroglyphic transliteration, and editing<br />

marks. The text that the program (Adobe Capture 3.0) generated was not corrected. It exists in an<br />

invisible layer behind the scanned page image as “dirty OCR.” This means that a word search<br />

through the manuscript will not always return perfect results. If your search was unsuccessful, try<br />

searching for part of the word.<br />

Alternatively, search the <strong>Giza</strong> <strong>Archives</strong> <strong>Project</strong> database (www.gizapyramids.org or www.mfa.org/giza)<br />

to find single pages (from both versions) that contain specific references (see list below).


Understanding References<br />

Tomb number examples: G 2110, G 7000 X, G 4940, Lepsius 23, D 20 (spaces are<br />

necessary when searching the database for tomb references)<br />

Ancient name examples: Seshemnefer, Nefer, Ankh-haf, Iasen (alternate spellings have been<br />

included in the database)<br />

Modern name examples: Junker, Fisher, Smith, Floroff, Quibell<br />

Photo negative number examples: A4935, B8301, C13953, D60 (no spaces are used when searching<br />

the database for photo numbers)<br />

Object Register number examples: 12-11-54 (this means: in 1912, month of November, this is the<br />

54th object logged), 27-2-294 (this means: in 1927, month of<br />

February, this is the 294 th object logged)<br />

MFA accession number examples: 13.3144, 37.1311, 12.1483 (this means: in 1912 this was the<br />

1483 rd object accessioned to the MFA)<br />

Additional Information<br />

Omissions<br />

Unimportant editor’s marks, corrections of typographical errors, word insertions, text crossed out in<br />

blue pencil, and other notations found on the duplicate manuscript were not annotated in the PDF<br />

reconstruction. Some references to plate or figure numbers found on the duplicate manuscript were<br />

also omitted because no plates or figures exist with those specific designations. Plate and figure<br />

numbers that refer to the published, A History of the <strong>Giza</strong> Necropolis Volume I (1942) are included in<br />

the annotations. (Note: All expedition photographs and drawings relating to individual tombs can be<br />

examined in detail using the <strong>Giza</strong> Archive <strong>Project</strong> website search engine at www.gizapyramids.org.)<br />

Margin notes with handwritten transliterations of hieroglyphic inscriptions found on the duplicate<br />

manuscript were omitted from the annotations in most cases. Pages of notes left within the original<br />

manuscript by other authors using Reisner’s material for research were not included in the PDF.<br />

A third, early draft of <strong>Appendix</strong> A (concerning Cemetery en Echelon) was omitted from the PDF and<br />

the searchable pages in the database because most of its margin notes were included in the retyped<br />

final versions. Three pages from this early draft were included at the end of the PDF and database<br />

versions of <strong>Appendix</strong> A because the material covered was missing from the final draft.<br />

Imaging<br />

The original paper pages are yellow with age and contain red and blue-pencil editing marks. In order<br />

to minimize file sizes for the PDF, color information was discarded and the brightness, contrast, and<br />

sharpness were enhanced for each scan to make it more legible to the optical character reader.<br />

The optical character reader (Adobe Acrobat 3.0) was set up to create a digital stand-in for the<br />

paper page. The digital page usually displays handwritten notations in grayscale and typewritten text<br />

in black and white. Occasionally, the OCR interpreted a handwritten notation as black and white<br />

text, and typewritten text as grayscale (sometimes as both). If the OCR program encountered<br />

something it could not read, it left that part of the page in grayscale. Grayscale can appear fuzzy and<br />

is occasionally difficult to read when printed.<br />

Linking<br />

The hyperlink in the bookmarks at the end of each chapter is intended to link to the next chapter,<br />

but you will have to download the next chapter to the same folder on your desktop for the hyperlink<br />

to function. Each Chapter and <strong>Appendix</strong> for Volume II is a separate downloadable PDF file.<br />

cemetery in numerical order, the mastabas of the first and second additions in<br />

numerical order, and finally the mastabas and rock cut tombs of the secondary<br />

cemeteries also in numerical order.<br />

1) Gnfinished Pyramid G I-x: 7.5 m. from east face of G I-a: 10.0 m. from west<br />

face o fxtwin mastaba G 7110+20: 12.7 rn. south of G 7000 X<br />

(netep-heres tomb): cutting consists of the upper end of a sloping<br />

passage, 3.75 m. long (W-S) and 0.e5 m. wide, and a transverse<br />

cutting 6.35 m. wide (E-W) for two courses of masonry: see m.<br />

I-, plan. and m section: the emplacement was smeared with<br />

plaster and the two courses of masonry had been set and later<br />

reToved: the cuttings and the emplacement indicate plllrr the<br />

design to have been like that of G I-a, with sloping rock cut<br />

passage descending southwards to a barial chamber continued upwards<br />

and outwards by masonry to the projected face of the finished<br />

pyramid; the pyramid was to be built over the nucleus of masonry<br />

thus designed (see G. I-a):<br />

5) Two groups of fragments which seem to belong together, Peshaps<br />

from the west mall between the two niches, a)<br />

Fragments forming parts of three registers of figures<br />

procedding to the right, probably twward a large seated<br />

figure of the queen, Of the first register there is<br />

prefierved only*> the feet of a single w, In the second, Hmh<br />

a dwarf(1eg-s only preserved) and a woman in a green dress<br />

whose shoulder is distorted somwwhat like that in G 4940,<br />

on P1. 15. hese figures are approaching a low dais<br />

which may b the base of the queen's chair, In that case<br />

the lowest register would run under the large<br />

figure, It shows the horn of a large ox, a~rer which is<br />

written rn aw: , b) it is very likely that the man<br />

formed by the second group of fragments is leading this<br />

ox, or another similar animal in the same register. Over<br />

his head is an unintelligble shape which may be the tail<br />

of a bird hieroglyph, and on the right is a an ok'ect<br />

which cannot be identified, See, Fig,. ..... and 8 mith,<br />

attendants with a dwarf on the north wall of the chapel<br />

of C 7540, Pi, 57,<br />

of an estate figure. I, front of it is written. o. ..w<br />

V<br />

There were at least five more unintelligible fragments, one of<br />

'which had a base line and a nhwt sign(24-11-286 m) . see Fig. .<br />

The above fragments present = a clear unity of style and cutting, Moreover<br />

they were all found near the floor level in the debris of the chap1<br />

of G I B tlnder circumstances which make it unlikely that they could<br />

have-been intrusive, Another group of reliefs was found in the debris<br />

of STreet 7000, east of the three Queens' pyramids and in the Isis<br />

Tempke, A few of these pieces came from the boat grave south of G I a,<br />

and another group came from the Cheops causeway, Certain of these piece -<br />

are of such a character that they can only be assigned to the chapel of<br />

a queen or to a royal temple. It is impossible to tell from which<br />

chapel they came, as it is to be presumed that a11 three pyramids had<br />

decorated chapels, It is now certain from Selim .tiassan's excavations<br />

that at least a portion of the Cheops temple was decorated, A group<br />

of mall fragments from the causeway are almost certainly from these<br />

royal decorations, and these are listed first below, Second are<br />

grouped pieces 5<br />

probably belonging to<br />

Queens' reliefs, and third a group of uncertain reliefs which are<br />

probably from undetermined private mastabas, It &ould be noted that<br />

several fragments have been assigned to G 7130, the wife of Xhufuw-khaf<br />

(p.37. .I, and one piece from the Queen's boat grave was found to join with<br />

a piece from the facade of G 7320 (see p,22.f$),<br />

a) Decoration of the temple of the Cheops Pyramid, In the season of 1938-<br />

1939, Selim Bey Bassan found two large blocks and some smaller fmgmexts<br />

of limestone reliefs from the decoration of an undetermined part of<br />

the Cheops temple, perhaps the causeway corridor, In addition to<br />

these were some Pragments of granite with inscriptions. One bqe<br />

block had the upper part of a large fi re of the king carved<br />

-<br />

in very<br />

fine low relief, but badly weathered, !P he king stands facing to the<br />

left, wearing the red crown(possib1y the double crown), and aowavy<br />

edged scarla thrown over his right shoulder. Above him is the sn sign<br />

probably held by a protecting vulture. dehind him stood a<br />

attendant , =a<br />

probably the uppermost of several such figures ,


<strong>Appendix</strong> B, p, 5,<br />

The second large block sgows a figwe of Cheops, seated, facing to<br />

the rip, wearing a beb-sed claak and holding the -2 flail. The<br />

throne is probably surmounted by a canopy ad in front of it on the<br />

right are the bases of the tso standards which ordinarily<br />

accompany the Heb-sed pavilion. To the right of<br />

-<br />

.t;Bh9s is pmbably<br />

the base of the king's Horus name, and the foot of a smll standing<br />

figure facing left, Underneath is the head of a second figure with<br />

8m written above him. Behind the seatdd king, on the left,<br />

is the head of a much larger figure of cheops, with his name above<br />

him in a cartouche: (,HBJf)w. The wig of the figure is a peculiar one<br />

worn in the heb-bed scenes<br />

+<br />

of Dynasty V and the king is probably<br />

kneeling as in Bigsing, Re Heili tum 11, p1,l and 111, P1. 27, To<br />

the left are four partia ly preserved columns of inscription with<br />

Of the fragments found by our expedTion, the following , from the causeway<br />

of the temple>probably belong with the above. The limestone fragmmnts<br />

are carved in a bolder style of high relief than that of the above pieces.<br />

24-11-548: Red granite fragment with legs of hawk in sum relief.<br />

Must have formed part of the bird surmounting the frame<br />

containing the king's Horus name, Evidently from one of<br />

the large inscriptions with name and titles of bheops on<br />

the granite casing of the temple walls, Perhaps from a door<br />

frame as in Chephren temple, Found in debris north of<br />

Queen's pynmid G 1 b* See PI. 35 S, Fig,.,..<br />

has been suggested above for the first Selim Hassan block,<br />

24-11-889: A fragment= showing the oars of a large boat. This was<br />

found in the debris of Pyramid G I a, but resembles the<br />

bold reliefs of the above fragments more than it does<br />

the fine low reliefs of Pyramid G I b, Both types of relief<br />

seem to have existed *in different parts of the Cheops<br />

temple,<br />

This piece seems to belong with the<br />

reliefs of that temple rather than with the fragments<br />

showing boats from the &;peens' reliefs,<br />

b) Fegqtents probably from one of the Queens' chapelso It is possible, of<br />

course that these may also come from the Cheops temple, *heir fine<br />

low relief in white limestone is indistingu$$hable from that on the<br />

Selim Hassan blocks mentioned above, but they also resemble the<br />

reliefs of G I bo Only twoj,c&aKels in the Eastern Cemetery are<br />

24-12-545: Above a border line of stars such as are found only in<br />

the rigging of a boat. ihey are rnadgef rope and resemble<br />

somewhat a badly battered block in Weserkaf temple<br />

which may represent a shrine being dragged along, There<br />

also seems to be a remote connection with one of the<br />

gheops blocks . from Lisht in the<br />

Metropolitan M-). The explanation of<br />

what these three bloeks represents will have to awai$ the<br />

discovery of further Old Kingdom royal reliefs, Beneath the

The two cores, G 7410 and G 7420 were incomplete. The E wall of<br />

both were traced from the SE to the NE corner. When the facing of the twin naaW<br />

qastaba, G ?410+7420, was constructed, either the two cores were still incomplete<br />

or the W walls with the greater part of the M and S Walls were destroyed and<br />

-<br />

replaced by the facing of mall stepped courses.<br />

The whole cemeter-y of twelve cores appears to have been laid out<br />

-<br />

on a unifom plan. Judging by the width, they were not constructed on the same<br />

nfrw level but were aligned approximately both in the N-S and the E-PJ directions.<br />

The fall of the ground - to the southeast w8s not compensated by widening the<br />

mastabas, The cores were prohbly built in N-S lines from west to east. The<br />

i4<br />

three cores of each line were probbly constructed simultaneously, Cf the two<br />

w<br />

cores TW%S being constructed when the plan of converting the cores ofkhe two<br />

northern rows intor twin mastabas was formed.<br />

more complete than that of Khufuw-khaf.<br />

Lhe embrasure of the entrance to Boom a, but the<br />

construction partially covers the scene on the north side of<br />

this embrasure. Ja this walL, north of the embrasure were<br />

two-niches with emplacements in Yjhich probably stood the<br />

statues of Ker-wab ;s a scribe, fragments of which viere found<br />

in the debris. %e upper part of this wcd1 is destrroyed<br />

A large block with a sloping face evide:rtl;: comes from here. It<br />

have shown on the facade, after this altoration in the construction<br />

It evicleiitlg has to be assumed that the facade of the embrasure<br />

;=as already decorated vhen the decision was made to build the west<br />

wall of room b with its statue nicheso he other mlls of room b,<br />

c and the portico could have been commehced earlier, but the slopig<br />

casing of the mastaba front has been cut away to form a vertical<br />

wall, both in the west wall of room c, axid in the backs of the<br />

statue niches. Also the west mll of room b would have been<br />

needed to support the roofing blocks. Therefore it looks as th6ugh<br />

the Whole exterior chapel was planned as an afterthought when the<br />

inner offering room a had been completed and decorated. It is curious<br />

that the architect should have chosen to cover partially the facade<br />

relB8fs. See Pls. 36 b, d and 37 e, Fig..&.*e.<br />

unfinished: dt is possible that the tablet of the ka-door was<br />

the only prt decorated (see G 4240): the four fragments %mmr<br />

found close together in the debris of the chapel indicate<br />

that on one of the walls an offering scene had been finished:<br />

the act# thet the lower pzrt of the ka-door and the rest of<br />

shows that the lid was being sawn off by straight blades<br />

working diagonally on each side at the same time: the<br />

piece broken away was not found: the piece attached to<br />

the bottom on the south was not dressed and showed a<br />

rough ridge across the end (not a dressed rectangular<br />

end bar, but the usual2 rough ridge left on undressed<br />

destroyed by w h digging:-<br />

b) one-room exterior c.b. chapel apparently open to the sky:<br />

3.9 x ca.2.4 m.: area, 9.36 sq.m.: the remains consist<br />

of two cob. long doorways, one at each end of the room<br />

or court but not exactly on the same axis line: the<br />

doorway to room 8 opens nearly in the middle of the<br />

western side of the room: in the SE corner of the room<br />

stands, partly sunk in the floor, a large rectangular<br />

offering basin of the ordinary form, 1.1 x 0.9 m., with<br />

hole in the S end opening in a stone roofed culvert ~k*f<br />

which passes under the S doorway and out into avenue 2<br />

where it turns east to a point, 6.75 m. from sW corner<br />

of G 7410420, where it emptied into a stone tank: in xnm<br />

of thick c.b. wall preserved along the S side, 1.6 m.<br />

thick: 1.25 x 1.35 m.: area, 1.68 sq.m.: the c.b. wall<br />

on the w of room e and on the E of room d which rested<br />

on the masonry of the casing of G 7420 (SE corner) had<br />

been destroyed.<br />

he thick southerm boundary wall of the chapel was dug away<br />

by selxkh-digging south of room f; its foundation rose<br />

slightly from E to W and showed a thickness of 1.7 m.<br />

in rooms d, 1.65 m. in room g and 1.6 m. in room h:<br />

to h in pa end of W wall opposite the entrance.<br />

h) well preserved to height of 0.8 m.: plastered as g:<br />

3.5 x 2.5 m.: area, 8.75 raq.m.<br />

The W boundary wall is 1.35 m. thick: the wall between g and<br />

h is 1.2 m. thick: the northern boundary wall was built<br />

over the dressed sloping casing of G 7320 being 0.9 m.<br />

as preserved, must have thickened upwards, perhaps to<br />

1.6 m.<br />

I suggest that most of the rooms were roofed with cob. xx22<br />

leaning vaults<br />

East of room e, were found the remains of a cob. wall built<br />

against the face of the E wall of that room: this<br />

indicates another corridor (1) added on the east and<br />

probably reaching to the face of G 7430: the drainage<br />

tank of the culvert leading from the basin in room b,<br />

was under the floor of this room; length of culvert,<br />

N-S arm, 17 m. +E-W arm, ca.6.75 m., total length of<br />

about 23.5 m., width of channel, 0.1 m.: depth ca.,0.12<br />

Exterior c.b. chapel of 5 W-S rooms: formed by dividing the place<br />

between G 7310 and G 7410, by 6 vepy thick cob. doorways:<br />

b) beginning just south of embrasure of doorway to room<br />

a and extending northwards: 7.9 x 2.6 m.: area,<br />

20.54 sq.m.: northern part of floor paved with<br />

stone sill in doorway: bases of two columns in N-S<br />

line dividing the room into three parts: both had<br />

a circular bsis, with diam. of 0.95 m.: on the S<br />

basis stood a coluan drum with a diam. of 0.53 m.<br />

and a hei&t of 0.46 m.: this segment of the colulnn<br />

was dressed so that it had eight slightly channeled<br />

surfaces, similar to Zoser channelled columns but<br />

of less pronounced form: the print on khe N basis<br />

indicated a column of the same size: no evidence<br />

was found to indicate the form of the capital,<br />

but I would reconstruct with an architrave, either<br />

E-W or N-S: the roofing would probably have been<br />

stone slabs, although the use of mud-brick would<br />

suggest a wooden roofing : the doorway to room a<br />

opens in the S end of the west side: at the N and S<br />

ends of the room, a thick c.b. doorway, not on the<br />

same axis: the doorway on the S opens hto room c.<br />

c) 2.25 x 2.8 m.: area, 6.3 sq.m.: formed by two thick<br />

cob. doorway, not on the same axis, of which one<br />

forms the S end of room b and the other the N end od<br />

damaged and repaired with rubble.<br />

d) south of c and enclosing the subsidiary N niche of<br />

N niche, outer recess, 1.1 x 0.35 m.: inner niche,<br />

0.4 x 0.25 m.: cob. doorway on N is the S doorway<br />

of room c: the doorwag on S opens into the space<br />

between G 7310.120 and G 7410420, and thus leads to<br />

the chapel G 7320: at some subsequent time the two<br />

chapels, G 7310 and G 7S20 were separated by a c.b,<br />

wall 1.25 m. thick built across the S side of the N<br />

doorway opening from c to d: thus the room d around<br />

the subsidiary N niche was blocked off froln chapel<br />

G 7S10 and attached to G 7320.<br />

by cob. doorway (opening from N) and on the N by a<br />

similar doorway opening from S: 20.75 x 2.8 m.:<br />

f) a short room or Vestibule north of e: north end formed<br />

by cob. doorway opening from the N: 2.65 x 2.8 m.:<br />

area, 7.42 sq.m. : both the N and the S doorway have<br />

been damaged by intrusive shafts of the Ptolemaic<br />

Roman Period: the outside of the N doorway is in<br />

Total floor area a-f, 110.83 sq,m,<br />

probably the whole of the exterior chapels of G 7310 and<br />

G 7320 was constructed about the sane time on one<br />

plan: the blocking of the chapel of g G 7310<br />

prohbly occurred some time after the burials as a<br />

result of differences of interests between the two<br />

sets of ka-priests. \


Decoration of Chapl: no evidence of decoration: a horizontal line on<br />

the ka-door and vertical border on the backs of the puter<br />

niche indicate an intention to decorate.<br />

to the south.<br />

all threes shafts are of Dp.IV or early Dyn.V.<br />

In addition to shafts attached to G 7132, there were six other<br />

shafts, sunk in the rock along the face of the mastaba :<br />

three shafts, G 7140 X, $y,Z, from N to S, lie between the<br />

exterior chapel and the N subsidiary niche of G 7140:<br />

three others, G 7130 Y, Z,-, from N to S, (Z, V) south and<br />

one (Y) north of the exterior c.b. chapel of G 7130.<br />

In the Saite-Ptolemaic Period the Isis Temple was extended eastwards<br />

across the top of the mastaba (N end of G 7140) to<br />

the street G 7100, where the continuation eastwards was<br />

destroyed by recent excavations (sebbakhin) : see the temple<br />

APPENDIX B* PO470<br />

Exterior Southern Chapel:<br />

The southern end of the street between the northern chapel and<br />

southwards appears to have been closed by a c.b. wall<br />

(0.9 m. thicKj, probably with doorway in E end: the spce<br />

between this wall and the Northern chapel was occupied by<br />

various structures of u-masonry and rubb e: here was built<br />

first chapel of u-masonry the lines of which were continued<br />

northwards, and south of it another offering room of rubble:a)<br />

The structure containing the offering room in which the<br />

subsidiary S niche W s exposed was a dlilled mastsba<br />

'<br />

(G 7441) with retaining walls of u-masonry and<br />

27.9 x 4.6 m.: with an area of 128.34 sy.m.: in the<br />

southern part is a long corridor with deep recess in S<br />

end of its W wall in the vli end of which the subsidiary<br />

s niche was exposed: 9.2 x 1.5 m.: area, 15.8 sq.m.:<br />

prop.1/6.13: the niche recess measures 1.45 x 1.55 m.<br />

with area of 2.24 mq.m.: total floor area, 16.04 sq.a.<br />

entered by doorway in middle of E wall, opening<br />

eabrasure in E face of mastaba: the room was probably<br />

roofed but the walls probably did not reach to the top<br />

of the subsidiary S niche, but the deep recess may not<br />

have been roofed at its W end (cf. 6020 chapel):<br />

In the body of the mastaba N of the chaz1 a trench was<br />

constructed for burial shafts, but only two shafts were<br />

made G 7440 Y, immediately north of room a and G 7430<br />

18 several meters north of G 7440 Y: both these contained<br />

burial datable to late &n.IV.<br />

vastaba type VIII ~(1). '<br />

Chapel type (5~).<br />

b) Against the S face of the m;Bstaba containing chapel boom a<br />

was constructed a small mud plastered rubble mastaba,<br />

(G 7442) containing an offering mom b and a burial x<br />

shaft (G 7440 Z): 7.0 x 3.75 m.; area, 26.25 sq.m.:<br />

prop.1/1.96: with interior offering room (no niche) :<br />

3.15 x 1.55 m.: area, 4.88 sq.m.; prop.l/2.03 : entered<br />

coffin with k,s-li&: two canopic jars, 81 alab. models,<br />

lst.headrest/and bead ornaments on the body: late m.m<br />

but was not reused in Ptolemaic Period.<br />

In the E wall of the shaft was an unfinished cutting of<br />

indeterminable date.<br />

Later Construct ions :<br />

In front of tke mastah between the exterior stone chapel and the<br />

southern side of the subsidiarp S niche was constructed a long<br />

mastaba with a chapel in which the only offering niche was the<br />

subsidiary S niche itself: see above the southern chapel of 7440.<br />

South of the r?lastaba just mentioned was buijt another small mastaba<br />

with an offering room and one shaft: see southern chapel, above.<br />

North of G 7430+40, between it and G 7420, in the eastern end of avenue<br />

2, stand two %all mastabas of Dyn.VI, G 7431 on the west and<br />

r, 7432 on the east.<br />

Adjoining G 7432 on the south in street 7400 E of G 74S0, the angle of<br />

the old enclosing wall had been converted into a small mastaba<br />

with one burial shaft (G 7433*A).<br />

In the Saiti@-Ptolemaic Period: two cob. structures were built on top<br />

of mastaba, one at NE corner extending into avenue 2 and the otker<br />

south of it: these appeared not to be directly connected with xb$<br />

shafts.<br />

In the NTnJ corner of the unused chapel recess of G 7440, a shaft, G 7440<br />

X was made in the Ptolemaic Period: the other shafts, $TxR4&@x~maa<br />

ma&~xfwxkkaxf%B.hmmh lettered as X shafts, G 7430 R, G 7440 y and<br />

z were in the mastabas of the southern chapel and were of late<br />

~yn.Iv or early Dyn.V: shaft G 7430 X cut in floor of mom a of tht<br />

northern chapel was a Saitk-Ptolemaic shaft with numerous loculi<br />

an4 chambers .

Constructton of the five massive cores and mastaba G 7050.<br />

After the construction of the eight twin rnastaba, five massive<br />

cores were added east and south of the twin mastabas and a mastaba (G 7050) Was<br />

added south of the small pyramid cf I-e. The finished mastabas enclosing these<br />

cores are now given in chronological or approximately chronological order.<br />

Chapel: interior white limestone chapel with two niches in W wall, type<br />

(4a) with serdab behind southern or chief niche: with m<br />

exterior chapel of six rooms (b-g):<br />

a) 7.6 x 1.7 m.: area, 12.92 sq.rn.: prop.1/4.47: the chief<br />

southern nichel, measures, outer recess 1.05 x 0.4 m.<br />

and inner recess 0.35 x 0.35 m.: the northern niche is<br />

shallow, being,cut in the lining of the room, outer<br />

recess, 0.65 x 0.1 m. and inner recess, 0.2 x 0.1 m.:<br />

with serdab behind southern niche: doorway in N end of<br />

E wall, opening in embrasure in casing 4.35 m. long<br />

and 0.65 m. deep: in the embrasure on the S side is ",<br />

limestone ring (footing of a wooden column?) hollow m<br />

two stone blocks at the bottom of the a@&&k~ hole (on<br />

which the wooden column(?) rested: on the other side<br />

the Wvement has broken up but probably had also born<br />

a similar emplacement: the embrasure was paved with B<br />

stone extending to the W Wall of the cob. chapel.


APPENDIX B.. p.52.<br />

b! tl-e embrasure room formed after tke construction of rooms<br />

c-g: the ends were formed on N and S by two thick cob.<br />

walls of which the southern contained a doorway: the W<br />

side was formed by the sloping face of the embrasure and<br />

casing: the E face of the room by the outside of the<br />

exterior rooms c-g: 6.6 x 2.15 m. (including embrasure):<br />

area, 14.19 sq.m.: south of the doorway in the S wall,<br />

a long N-S mssage led out to the SVJ corner of the B<br />

exterior cob. chapel, 7.35 m. long and 1.3 m. wide(E-W):<br />

this passage appears to have been that chiefly used in<br />

the later period of the chapel service: in the floor<br />

towards the S began a drainage tunnel which beyond the<br />

cha E 1 curved around to dis charge eastwards<br />

The rest of the exterior chapel was built as one block of<br />

five rooms all bonded together: this block was separated<br />

by a space about 1.35 m. from the foot of the sloping<br />

casing of the mastaba<br />

C) large E-VI hall infront .of doorway to room 8 but not<br />

symmetrically placedwith reference to it: measured,<br />

6.25 x 7.9 m.: area, 49.37 sq.m.; with wide plain doorwaJ<br />

in pd wall giving access to room a, 3.15 m. wide(rT-S)<br />

not in the middle of the wall (1.3 m. from N wall and<br />

1.85 m. from the S wall: down the middle of room ran<br />

the bases of an E-W row of four columns of which the<br />

fourth stood in the wide &oorway in the W wall: these<br />

columns stood a littZEe N of the E-W axis of the hall<br />

(2.€!5 m. from the N wall and 3.35 m. from the S wall:<br />

the basis consisted of a stone footing ring (in two half<br />

circles,) hollow inside and, apparently, the woodan column<br />

was sunk in the hole which descended 40-60 cm. in the<br />

floor: the stone paveaent of the embrasure and room b<br />

continued into the ,doorway in the W wall of room c but<br />

the rest of the roo3 had a mud floor laid on a pcking-<br />

of limestone rubbish: I conclude ,$h&t room c was origin-<br />

ally an open court and that laterAwas roofed with wood<br />

supported by wooden columns: the room was enGtered from<br />

room g (vestibule) by a doorway in the E end-of the S<br />

wall (wdth wooden door inside room g).<br />

along the W side of the hall or court, opposite the first<br />

three columns from the E and close to them ran a thin<br />

cob. wall, one brick high, with projecting bricks at<br />

intervals: the purpose of this cob. wall remained<br />

unexplained.<br />

d) The westernmost of the four rooms south of hall c:<br />

N-s room, 5.2 x 1.55 m.: area, 8-06 sq.m.: entered by<br />

doorway from e, set in the N end of the E wall: with<br />

wooden door on inside; the western wall is built over<br />

the stone pavement in front of the interior chapel:<br />

the room was filled with plcked debris of decay and in<br />

this was found the bust of Prince Ankh-hafi,<br />

against the W wall near the N end, is built a plastered<br />

c.k. pedestal or offering platform, 0.82 x 0.55 m. and<br />

0.55 m. high: on the north side of this pedestal the<br />

structure was extended to the N wall(?) by a low<br />

platform of the same width: it is suggested that the<br />

bust of Ankh-haf was standing on the higher pedestal<br />

facing to ease and that the low platform was an offering<br />

platform: under the bust wgmfound 94 models of plaster:<br />

in same room also pottery and models:<br />

"occupied- by small and medium sized mstaba: these fell into<br />

decay and were badly denuaed by weathering the area was only<br />

lightly sanded up before the Saite+.Ptolemaic Roman Period:<br />

culvert enters under the entrance doorway, crossed the<br />

room diagonally from NW to SE and passes out under the<br />

doorway to b: in 9 end of the I&' wall, opens the door of<br />

a cob. stairway, 0.65 m.wide: the stairway descends to<br />

the VI by three step and then turns northwards ascending<br />

by five steps before it is denuded away: this stairway<br />

appears to give access to the roof of the chapel: the<br />

embrasure dooruay must have had the wooden door (not<br />

found) on the inside.<br />

g) mxkpix~fxs~prmxhx the mrt outside the N entrance: at 4.55<br />

irregular rock cut drainage tank, apparently to collect<br />

the drainage from the street to the E which sloped to th<br />

runs soutf-)wards to pass under the entrance, then SE<br />

under the floor of room f, passes under the doorway a$<br />

which form the N and S walls of room e appear to have<br />

Been built after the construction of the culvert: E and<br />

W of the culvert north of entrance doorway, $!wo long<br />

walls of c.b. were built later aginst the embrasure<br />

itself preserved to a length of 5.5 m.: on the E, prtly<br />

built against G 7750, was a c.b. compartment with walls<br />

apparently bonded with the long N-S wall, measuring<br />

inside, 2.5 x 0.87 m.: apparently entered by a blocked<br />

doomay at S edd of W wall, but so denuded that the<br />

conclusion is uncertain: the two long walls seem to fom<br />

. a corridor the same width of as the entrance doorway:<br />

Outside the E side of rooms f and b, c.b. walls enclosing<br />

three rooms were found but these were bui)t on top of a<br />

small mastah of Dyn.V-VI and appear not to be connected<br />

with the chapel of G 7650.

In tke street east of the Amastaba the debris consisted largely<br />

of broken crude bricks from destroyed chapels(?) of the<br />

Ptolemaic Period and through this debris had been made a<br />

number of burial shafts, G 7600 R to 2.

G 7520+753@+754@: Or-Jginally a massive core of type IV-i was built behind (west)<br />

of G 7650 core and was of the same height and size; original<br />

core, 36.7 x 16.25(16-16.5) m.; area, 596.37 sq.m.: prop.l/2.2<br />

this was obviously designed for tbe mastaba of G 7530$?540<br />

intended for Queen hetep-heres I1 but when that mastaba vias<br />

'finished it was shifted southwards to bring the chapel doorway<br />

opposite the space south of G 7650 so that the finished<br />

-<br />

mastaba G 753@+7540 was en echelon to G 7650: at this time<br />

the massive blocks in the northern prt of the original core<br />

for a length of 17.5 m., were removed leaving only the lower<br />

part of this N end of core G 7520: with these blocks and<br />

other blocks an addition nas built against the south end of<br />

tPe original core and thus a new core was formed called<br />

G 7530f7540: which measured 29.5 x 16.865 m.(16.5 at N 8nd<br />

17.25 at 3): this new core measured about, 47.5 x 16.88 m.:<br />

area, 6S3.0 sq.m.; prop.lJiY2.22: this enlarged core was cased<br />

with fine white linestone to form the mastaba cf 753047540 of<br />

begins at SE corner of cased mastaba and extends north-<br />

wards for a minimum length of 14.75 m. and a width of<br />

3.8 m.; the chapel with a width of 3.8 m. fills the<br />

street but leaves a very narrow space at the back of<br />

G 7660: that is, G 7660 was built after the exterior<br />

chapel had been built as far as it was ever built: the<br />

S wall is standing to the height of one course of large<br />

blocks, including the SE corner and one block in the<br />

E face adjoining the SE corner: the rock under the s<br />

end of the chapel falls away and the slope is compensat-<br />

ed by 8 heavy foundation platfom to bring the floor<br />

of the exterior chapel on a level with the rock in the<br />

street north of the chapel and on a &eve1 with the floor<br />

of the interior chapel: it is probable that this chapel<br />

contained three or more rooms but all trace of the<br />

interior plan has been destroyed because most of the<br />

floor has been tom up.<br />

Date of Casing of G 75S047540: on the back of two casing stones in<br />

place in the \F;Iside of the mastaba were found quarry w<br />

inscriptions: on the E was found a displaced block with a<br />

siailar inscription from which the year had been cut away:<br />

On the subsidiary N niche, on each side of the back of the outer recess<br />

is an incised vertical line with signs facing to right;<br />

me year 7 of the quarry inscriptions was eibher year 13 or 14 of the<br />

king concerned (See Sethe, Untersuchungenp 111 p.79): the date on<br />

the subsidiary N niche is not completely preserved and might be<br />

read 2, 5, 12, 15 or 22, lkflrbr which would designate the year 3-4,<br />

9-10, 23-24, 29-30, or 48-44: the date on the south panel is xh<br />

wholly illegible: as there is no burial in the mastab, the dates<br />

probably record on the N the beginning of the work on the mastaba<br />

and on s the completion of the mastabaa as the work was proceeding<br />

on the casing and. was half finished in year 13-14 I would XEEBW<br />

reconstruct the dates on the subsidiapy N niche as year 7-10 and<br />

on the S panel 8s year 13-14 or 15-15: this would give four to six<br />

years for the construction of tl-e core and the casing including<br />

the chapel.<br />

The evidence for the king in whose 13-14th<br />

--<br />

yeat? the msing was built,<br />

is purely circumstantial: \<br />

I/<br />

(1) the position of the mastaba,<br />

(2) the construction of the mstaba.<br />

il (3) the family relation of queen Hetep-heres 11, prticularly as<br />

mother-in-law of Chephren: this evidence indicates verp<br />

4<br />

strongly that the nastaba was built in the years 9-10 to f 1<br />

13-14 (or alternately 15-16) of Chephren.<br />

Decoration of the Chapel of G 753047540, room a:<br />

TFe shaft was found not conpletely filled: the debris sloped down<br />

represented clearly the beginning of a rock cut tomb similar<br />

to the cutting for the exterior court of G 7530, but was near<br />

the middle of the street not on the E side: I assu-e that the<br />

worben began cutting the rock cut tomb of Yeresankh 111<br />

here and were shifted to where we now have the finished tomb<br />

of Meresankh 111.<br />

The street north of the rock cut court of G 75SO has been altered<br />

by the cutting and constructfon of later tombs (see below<br />

after G 7520).<br />

AgaInst the N end of G 7530$7510, a stairway ascend from above<br />

the street level to the top of the core of G 7520: this<br />

stairway probably orig nally ascended from the street level<br />

but fell into disuse when the later mastabas were built.<br />

G 7520: the N end of the original core similar in size and construction to the<br />

core of G 7650 and standing west of it: this end was left<br />

when the core G 7530.)7540 was shifted-to the south: the<br />

casing of the finished mastaba G 75~0440 was built in a<br />

trench across the old cor$.<br />

consisted of the white cased mastaba G 7530+40 with its<br />

unfinished exterior stone chapel, the rock cut tomb of<br />

veresankh I11 (G 7530), and the uncased core of G 7580,<br />

probably with the burial chamber of its shaft A already<br />

finished and prhaps already used: the rock cut court of<br />

r, 7530 was entered by two Slights of step, one leading down<br />

from the south and other from the north: the southern stair<br />

was approached from the south probaly by a path south of<br />

rr 7650: the northern stair was approached from the north<br />

and the street in this direction must have been open to tke<br />

avenue south of G 7510: further froT the street north of<br />

the court of S 7530, R flight of steps was constructed<br />

leading up to the top of S 7520, perhaps for the burial<br />

in G 7520 A.<br />

Before the excavation of the rock cut tomb, G 7530, the nulnrnulitic<br />

aastnbas, G 7550 and G 7660, had been built belonging to two<br />

brothers of Meresankh 111, "princefr Dawanehor and "prince"<br />

Fa-ea-sekhea: the N end of G 7550 was enclosed by a rubble<br />

wall and at the east end the space between this enclosing<br />

wall and the exterior chapel of G 7540 was filled with<br />

livestone debris to bring the level up to that of the floor<br />

of the chapel of G 7540: from this platform a ramp (with<br />

rubble retaining wall on W and filled vLith limestone debris)

APPmDIX €3. p-88-<br />

was made ueinst the back of rt 7660 and descended to the<br />

lower level of the street east of ff 7550: the space between<br />

the E face of the exterior chapel of G 7540 and the back<br />

of 0 7560, is very narrow and it seems doubtfbl whether the<br />

ramp was used for access to the rock cut tomb, G 7530: it<br />

have been used for passage fro3 the chapel of G 7550 to<br />

the chapels in the street G 7400 and G 7300.<br />

In m.v, the rock of the street north of the rock cut court of<br />

veressnkh 1x1 was considerably altcred and a rock cut tomb<br />

nunlbered G 7524 vias excavated; about the sane time the rock<br />

surface east of the core G 7520 was enclosed with a wall of<br />

u-vasonry, 0 7524 A-B: a little later and E-R wall was built<br />

on top of the rock scarp cut for G 7524 and coapleted by<br />

another wall on the north to fora (3 7524 C-E: in the R end<br />

In the Ptolenlatc Period a nuaber of crude brick chapsls were built<br />

on the top of Q 7520 and over the debris filling the streets:<br />

the debrdis was :%netrated by a large number of intrusive SRX<br />

shafts of this period: these had all been plundered and the<br />

blocks of nuq. lst., dressed to Q smooth sloping surface:<br />

43.0 x 24.0 m., area, 1032 sq.m.: prop.l/l.8: height,.. ... :<br />

with interior chapel and subsiS!iary N niche.<br />

chapel-: interior chapel of type (sa) of nunmulltic liaestone, bonded<br />

with retalninq wan: relnains of exterior c.b. chapel:’<br />

with subsidiary N niche.<br />

a) interior offering room of type (da) with plain compound<br />

ka-door near S end of W wall- decorated with carved<br />

reliefs (not sized$ technique); 4.25 x 1.57 m.,: area,<br />

5.67 sq.m.: prop.l/2.7: plain compound ka-door of which<br />

the outer niche measures 1.15 x 0.3 m. and the inner<br />

niche, 0.3a x 0.25 m.: entered by doorway in N end of<br />

E wall. opening in emarasure in face of mastaba: room<br />

paved with stone with floor...... m. above rock probably<br />

entered from exterior chapel on same floor level.


<strong>Appendix</strong> B. p.108.<br />

Exterior c.b. chapel: in front of doorway is a hole in the<br />

rock probably arising from the olf quarrying of Cheops:<br />

in this hole has been constructed a high c.b. structure<br />

found on rock and reaching nearly the floor level of<br />

room a: this structure Pad been excavated to rock by<br />

Tewfik Boulos and it excat character could not be<br />

determined: it had a doorway in its N wall opening to<br />

N nhere itb-had been block by stone wall (mstaba?):<br />

1 cannot accept thia as prt of the original c.b. chapel<br />

hce!dee it is too low down, is not symetrically in<br />

relation to the doorvvay of room a: and was not connected<br />

with a room(c) on the south mhich appeared to be part<br />

of the exterior c.b. chapel: if it was of the OFK& and<br />

represented a reconstruction of tke c.b. chapel then<br />

it must have contained a long flight of step leading<br />

fro3 its floor to the level of the doomay of room a.<br />

b) hall around the doorway of room a; now entirely destroyed:<br />

prohbly originally at least 3.3 m. long by at least<br />

3.7 rn. wide (E-&).<br />

C) at the S end of the mstaba face is an E-V; room which<br />

appear to be part of the original chapel; 1.55 x 3.3 h.<br />

area, 5.11 sq.m.. the 2, wall was 1.6 m. thick; the E<br />

wall is not completelt preserved: the E wall which<br />

separated c frorll b or from d, is 1.1 m. thick: entered<br />

by doorway' in Ii: end of N wall: the space north of this<br />

wall was obviously part of roon which was wider in the<br />

E-V~ direction and may have been another subsic'iary rmrn<br />

room or part of the hall b: thus there hall b appears<br />

to have wider than 3.3 m. E-W and to have had at least<br />

two other room, one east of c and another between<br />

these two rooms and b.<br />
