K 1050. Plan XXI, K X, NW quarter, apparently in outer row.
Grave: rounded rectangular, 300 X 280 cm., 150 cm. deep; orient., 12° north of east;
entirely in filling, with pit for box sunk in floor.
Burial: difficult to determine; a wooden coffin on north of middle; on the floor to the
south disturbed parts of a bed, inlays, hide, and other objects; this condition
suggests that there were both a box- and a bed-burial in the grave, but the ob-
jects might have been intrusive. The box had been plundered and was filled
with dirt, over which lay part of a hide. Bones of at least two bodies in the
debris.
Objects: 1, at SE corner of coffin; 2, in SE corner of grave; 3, coffin, in place; rest of
objects scattered on what appeared to be floor of grave and in debris just above
floor.
+ 1. Large jar, W. S. R. XIX-2; Su 916.
2. Beaker, Bkt. 1-22 (a); Su 917.
3. Wooden coffin, a mere worm-eaten shell; 150 X 80 cm., and 57 cm. high;
boards distinguishable, 2.5 cm. thick; joints and mortising, unclear.
1. Parts of a wooden bed: one side-board and one leg; Su 921.
ii. Ivory bed-inlays, one ostrich chick and parts of five others (h., 3.8 cm.), one
bee and parts of five others (h., 3.4 cm.); Su 920.
iii. Wooden foot-stool (?) with four legs; see Footstools, 1; Su 922, vol. VI,
p. 229.
iv. Pair of rawhide sandals, decayed.
v. Beads: three long tubular and few small ring-beads of blue faience; and tiny
fragment of gold foil; Su 919.
vi. Potsherds — Bkt. II and XVIII-2; Su 918.
K 1051. Plan XXI, K X, NW quarter, outer row.
Grave: rounded rectangular, at bottom 200 X 160 cm., and 130-150 cm. deep; orient.,
3° north of east.
Burial: completely wrecked, bones of two bodies in two confused heaps on floor.
Objects: scattered over floor.
+ 1. Large jar, R. W. XIII-6; Su 856.
2. Beaker, Bkt. I-gen.; Su 857.
3. Fragments of one or perhaps two ostrich-feather fans; Su 858.
4. Few small blue ring-beads; Su 859.
K 1052. Plan XXI, K X, SW quarter, outer row. (Fig. 110.)
Grave: rounded rectangular, 210 X 260 cm., and 130-140 cm. deep; orient., 12° south
of east; bed-trenches run whole length of east and west sides, furnishing place
for two beds.
Burial: double bed-burial with ram; hardly room for sacrificial body other than that
on second bed; decayed remains of two beds; the two back legs of the second
bed were most clearly preserved in the western trench north of the middle of
the grave; the ram was at the foot of the first or southern bed.
Ram — complete, in bed-trench at foot of southern bed; on right side, head south.
Objects: 1-23, 27, 28, in eastern bed-trench; 26, in western bed-trench.
1-3,10. Stack of four beakers; Su 860-862, 869.
Bkt. IV-12 (5); II-2 (a); II-3 (a).
+Bkt. IV-8 (6). (See Bkt. Fig. 231, No. 8.)
4. Beaker, Bkt. III-2 (a), mended in antiquity with holes on edge of break and
string (?); used as cover of stack (?); Su 863.
