K III, THE TOMB OF PRINCE HEPZEFA
163
K 325. Plan XV, K III, comp. 7, near circumference, and Fig. 40. Tomb of Hor-her-iat.
Grave: rectangular pit, 220 X 106 cm., formed by two intrusive cross-walls to alluvium,
but cut through E wall of compartment and into the alluvium to a depth of
about 40 cm.
Burial: bed-burial with two sacrificial burials and a ram. The grave had been plundered;
bed decayed, but measured; the sacrificial bodies including ram must have lain
on the sides and foot end of bed.
Body A — chief body, on bed; legs and part of backbone in place; skull, probably
that near head of bed; was on right side, head east.
Body B — smaller body, backbone apparently in position behind backbone of A, on
right side, head east; one of the two skulls at foot of bed.
Body C — position indeterminable; one of two skulls at foot of bed, and other dis-
placed bones.
Ram — head, near head of bed, other bones in debris and displaced; position inde-
terminable.
N.B. The condition of this grave points a warning against assuming that
a small narrow grave may not contain sacrificial burials; the best determining
factor is the positive evidence of bones and the presence of fine objects.
Objects: pottery around bed, probably in place; other objects, more or less disturbed.
