MINOR TUMULI AND UNATTACHED GRAVES
501
K XXXVI.
K XXXVII.
K XXXVIII.
K 3801.
Plan IV, Sheet A, sect. IJ-gh, east of K XXXV.
Tumulus: single-chamber type without subsidiary graves; diameter of stone circle
ca. 23 m.; height of mound above alluvium, 25 cm. (originally about
100 cm.); burial chamber in NW sector near stone circle; construction
as K XXI.
Grave: rectangular, 320 X 200 cm. = area of 6.4 sq. m., sunk 100 cm. in allu-
vium; orient., 12° south of east.
Burial: entirely cleared out; one big male (?) skull, Egyptian type, and other
human bones in the debris.
Objects: all in the debris of the grave.
i. Fragment of faience bowl, Type 1-1.
ii. Two fragments, alabaster jar, tapering body with narrow flat base, not
one of the types hitherto recorded.
iii. Beaker, Bkt. CVII.
iv. Wide-mouthed pot, B. M. CXIX.
Comment: fragment, i, is probably intrusive; the pottery and the alabaster bring
the tumulus into relations with K XXXVII and K LIV.
In Nubian Cemetery.

630 X 445 cm. = area of 28 sq. m.; the ledge, 590 X 445 cm. = 26 sq.
m.; southern part sunk 145 cm. in alluvium, ledge sunk 80 cm. in
alluvium; orient, south wall, 8° south of east.
