(2) Isis Temple (continued)
The southern wall of the Isis Temple is not yet clearly defined. The area immediately south of rooms Q - R is occupied by a number of closed masonry burial boxes and rooms S, T, seem to be cells made to take some of the burial boxes. The burial in S may be a pit as it is not clear. In T is a plundered burial box and west of T are the similar boxes G 7011 D, E, F. Isolated to the south near the face of the pyramid lies the burial box G 7011 G.
This area west of the railroad IV towards the pyramid has been dug over by sebbakheem and is littered with sebbahkeem siftings.
East of railroad IV to the back of G 7140, the sebbakheem]end u] have again dug holes and left heaps of siftings. Here we appear to be beyond the temple of Isis.
The temple of Isis in its later period was certainly the nucleus of a cemetery.
