2. DESCRIPTION OF K XV AND ITS CHAPELS
K XV. Plan III, see Sheet D, northwest of K XI, north of west half of K X, fifth tumulus in
row, K LI, K XII-XV.
Tumulus: single-chamber tumulus, without subsidiary graves; half-circle of ox-skulls
around the southern half; four mud-brick chapels, built at different times;
diameter of ring of black stones, 28-29 m.; height of mound above alluvium,
150 cm.; chamber near center of mound; in chamber, large quartzite cone
(top broken) measuring 84 X 72 cm. at base and 1204- cm. in height; slopes
clothed with drift-sand, especially on south towards K X.
Grave: quadrilateral, 380 cm. on north, 422 cm. on south, 315 cm. on east, 260 cm.
on west; area, ca. 11.8 sq.m., sunk 155 cm. in alluvium; orient., 10° south
of east; bed-trenches on south side.
Burial: completely cleared out but the bed-trenches (each 130 X 40 cm. and 25 cm.
deep) showed that a bed had stood along the south wall rather nearer to the
east end than to the west.
Objects: other than the quartzite cone and a few minute scraps of pottery, only i-v,
below, were found in the chamber of K XV, and indeed the chamber was filled
with blown dust and drift-sand. Strewn over western side of the mound,
extending as far as the chapel, K XIV A, lay a number of objects which seemed
to have been thrown out from K XV, but it was difficult to draw the dividing
line. I assign, tentatively, the objects lying east of K XIV to K XV — see
KXIV, east, 4-20 and xliii to liv. This includes the statuette of Menthuwhotep
K XIV. Plan V {continued).
