seen on practically all the funerary stele
known from Naqlun.
The tombs, both cut in soft rock,
comprised a vertical shaft opening into
a burial chamber located on the east side.
T.201 had a circular shaft measuring c. 0.85
m across and 1.18 m deep. The burial
chamber was 1.94 m long (2.70 m including
the bottom of the shaft) and 1.03 m wide,
0.94 m high at the most, although leeway
should be left for damages incurred during
the two separate instances of illicit digging
[Fig, 13].
The fill still inside the tomb and the
dump from the latest plundering yielded
two broken LR 7 amphorae presumably
from the blocking of the shaft [Fig. 12], as
well as a few pieces of red brick, measuring
23 x 11-12 x 6.5-7.0 cm, which may have
come from the tomb superstructure or from
the closing of the entrance to the burial
chamber.
