(5) Avenue G 2
Began clearing eastward of street G 7200 and began loading point of street G 7200 into the space between G 7320 and G 7330.
At sunset avenue G 2 was clear from street G 7000 to street G 7200 and showed two distinct Old Kingdom floors:
(a) floor, Ptolemaic Roman period. Blackened. On an old surface of decay weathered to a slope down from west to east. This had been broken along G 7120 S, G 7130 N, and G 7220 S by modern theft of stone, but not along the crude brick casing of G 7230.
(b) floor of Dynasty 4 on hard layer of masons debris. The casing in all cases remains unfinished below this floor. The floor of the crude brick casing of G 7230 is a few cm higher than the old and that casing is perhaps later than the others.

I order the debris of decay (Old Kingdom) in this street to be cut out to the Dynasty 4 floor.

(6) G 7320
G 7320 A: Continued on pit G 7320 A until afternoon when the limit of the ladders was reached. No pulleys free.

(7) G 7101
Began tracing foundation course of superstructures of G 7101 eastwards. Took the pair working on (8) for the purpose.

(8) Khufu Causeway
Had man and boy at work on Khufu causeway moving [ARROW] east. Later took them for (7).

(9) G 7221
Finished G 7221 pit. It descends only to surface of rock unfinished and unused.
