3. THE SUBSIDIARY GRAVES IN K III
The subsidiary graves in K III were numbered K 306-343. The plan was to number
these graves from 301 up, but by a mistake the numbers 301 to 305 were assigned to por-
tions of the sacrificial corridor. Thus the number of graves actually found was 38.
(1) Description of graves k 306 to k 343
K 306. Plan XV, K III, north end of 2/1 to 4/1.
Grave: irregular quadrilateral, about 300 X 160 cm., formed by an intrusive wall on east
and south built against south wall of main burial chambers and west wall of com-
partment 4/1. Old wall of 3/1 passes underneath. Floor about 50 cm. above
alluvium.
Burial: four skulls and bones of four or more bodies, in disorder in the debris of grave.
May be intrusive. It was not certainly determined whether the compartment
had contained a burial or not.
