CHAPTER XVIII
DESCRIPTION OF THE MINOR TUMULI AND THE
UNATTACHED GRAVES
Plans III, IV, V, VI, VII
The situation, the contents, the character, and the date of the minor tumuli and the un-
attached graves have been discussed in Chapter VI. For convenience of reference, the
description of all these tumuli and graves is given here in numerical order, as follows:
1. The minor tumuli from K V to K LIL
2. The graves numbered K Cem. B.
(1) K Cem. B 1-62, 101-118 (Egyptian), 201-219, 301-325, 501, 502.
(2) K Cem. B 22/1 to 22/10.
(3) K Cem. B 24/1 to 24/13.
(4) K Cem. B 27/1 to 27/20.
1. THE MINOR TUMULI K V TO K LII
It must be remembered that the first four numbers were assigned as follows:
K I to the Western Defffifa.
K II to the Eastern Deffufa, the chapel of K III.
K III to the great tumulus, the tomb of Hepzefa.
K IV to the second great tumulus, the tomb of Yentef (?).
The numbers of the tumuli described elsewhere will be entered in their numerical order
with a reference to the description.
K V.

Tumulus:
single-chamber type without subsidiary burials; diameter of stone circle,
39 m.; height of mound above alluvium, 85 cm. (originally much more);
chamber mostly west of center; usual construction without walls.

on east, 720 cm. on west, area about 109 sq. m.; orient., south side, 12°
north of east.
Burial:
entirely cleared out.
Objects:
all in the debris.
i. Mica ornaments of best work; 14-3-1267.
ii. Potsherds; jar, B. P.; 14-3-1264.
iii. Potsherds, rilled beaker, B. P. X-XII; 14-3-1265.
iv. Potsherds; 14-3-1266.
a. Bottle jars, B. P. I-IX-gen.
b. Bowl W. J., hard ware, pattern of concentric lozenges, to be dis-
tinguished from W. J. I-V.
