56. Alabaster cylindrical jar, Pl. 7ib. Underneath 55—56 were coals and a few finger
bones.
57. Fragments of 55—56 with charcoal and fragments of bones.

In the debris in the south end were found two small cups and a
fine-grained red ware, Pl. 74 b marked x.
N. 3013. Corbel with stair, similar to 3017, but smaller. Axis about 570 east
of south. See Pl. doa’b, dpc and fig. 140.
The brickwork was crushed to mud, Pl. 59f. The space above
the vault was filled with limestone chips the lower layer of which
had mixed to a certain extent with the brickwork, Pl. 59 k The
northern end of the vault had been broken into (or given way) and
the filling had come down into the chamber, see fragments
of limestone clinging to brickwork on Pl. dob. There
appears to have been two chambers at the north end.
The doorway was on the valley side at the south
end of the main chamber, roofed with branches, blocked
with brickwork and approached by a rough stairway
cut in the gebel and plastered with mud. The stair-
way was filled with limestone chips and mud.
N. 8013. Plan, 1 : 50.
Along the south end on the old surface was a fragment of a superstructure wall but
it appeared to belong to the outer enclosure of 3017, see Map in.
The skeleton was on the left side head towards the SE but it had been disturbed (the
head was gone) and may have been shifted from its original position. The condition of the
skeleton and the position of the other contents indicate ancient plundering.
On the floor were the following objects (see Pl. 69° and doa>b):
1. Two fragments of a volcanic ash bowl, broken and mended with cement in
antiquity, Pl. 72b.
2. Volcanic ash bowl, Pl. 72b. Diam. 15I: h. 9! cm.
3. Bowl of red painted red ware, type xxiv, without polish. Diam. 15 : h. 7 cm.
4. Plate of red polished brown ware, type xxvi. Diam. 19I : h. 6 cm.
5. Stand (?) of rough brown ware, type xx. Diam. 11: h. 8 cm.
