Preliminary inventory of extant structures.
A sand dune accumulated on the western slope of Kom H has protected the tomb
superstructures belonging to the THW cemetery. Twelve tombs were found here. They
were made up of both fired and dried mudbrick carefully coated with hard lime-and-
gravel plaster. Originally, all twelve had superstructures in the form of mastabas
shaped as crosses. All had lamp-boxes on the western side (Fig. A). Curiously enough,
bodies were buried in simple rectangular trenches covered with sand, not in burial
