Polish Archaeology in the Mediterranean (7.1995(1996))

Minor work included the replacement of two broken
elements', a support of the AuTvAs east window pulpit and a
limestone lintel over the doors leading to unit 2 of the
complex. The original broken pieces as well as
some analogies served to model the new elements in limestone.
8. With respect to woodwork restoration, the provisional doors in
the main entrance to the Gurv/' were replaced by double-leaf
wooden doors. Similar doors were installed in the ATuAvY on the
upper floor of the Gufvr. Sniffle-leaf doors appeared in the Toilets
and in the AGA/Y of the Mausoleum (design by M. el Mennabawy
and G. Witkowski).
Two were restored m the proper niches of the
main room on the upper floor of the (design by J. Zaleski,
1987) and one in the ATaYvY of the Mausoleum (design by
M. el Mennabawy and G.Witkowski, 1995).
A large iron grille in a wooden frame with double-leaf
shutters was inserted in the window above the mastaba in the main
entrance of the Dry/AnA. Minor missing elements of the
in the grilles installed previously m the &yM
windows (cf. supra, J. Dobrowolski, Report 1994-1995) were
reconstructed based on the original project.
Restorations were always based on analogies and the
RGq/yyy^ deed describing the complex was followed strictly in
replacing reconstructed elements.
II. EXCAVATIONS
1. Excavations were conducted in May and June in the area
immediately to the north of the already unearthed AryAur'
foundations. A slightly trapezoidal oblong structure was unearthed,
cut through by modern power installations. It was constructed of
stones, mud and bricks, bonded with a hard and thick mortar.
(Fig. 1) The eastern part of the structure, built of mostly irregular
and relatively small pieces of limestone, was identified as the
foundations of a medium-size latrine complex (4 toilets); the
