N. 1614. Similar to 1612, see Pl. 39k Axis points 450 east of south. Groined corbel vault. Walls
on sides 1 brick, on ends 1 brick thick.

103. N. 1614. Section A—B, 1:50.
N. 1562. Similar to 1612—1614, see Pl. 39 d. Axis
points 46° east of south. Covered by a
groined (?) corbel vault. The base of walls
are i| brick thick to a height of about 50 cm.
At this point begins the make-weight of the
corbel vault increasing the thickness of the
wall by about 25 cm. The make-weight
rests on gebel. The brickwork has melted
into a solid mass of mud. Owing to the
destruction of the northern end of the
tomb by sebbatyin, it is impossible to deter-
mine whether there were end chambers

or not.
The doorway is roofed with tree branches in
a natural state. It is approached by a sloping trough
cut in the desert, and blocked with brickwork.
Plundered. N. 1616 was built across the SE
corner cutting into the brickwork and was there-
fore built later than 1562, see Pl. 39d.
On the floor of the tomb were found:
1. Small pot of smooth pink ware, type xvn,
Pl. 51b.
2. Alabaster pot, Pl. 51b.
3. Alabaster saucer, Pl. 51b.
4. Small pot of pink ware, type xvi, Pl. 51b.
5. Limestone saucer, Pl. 51b.
6. 7. Jars of coarse ware, type v, Pl. 51b.
8. Black seal cylinder, Pl. 43k.
9. Beads: string of cylindrical beads of grey steatite (?) and limestone (?); one shell
pendant. See Pl. 42,1.
N. 1619. Similar to 1612—1614, see Pl. 37c—d. Axis points 48° east of south. There is a single
