In G 2381 X, a head of a limestone statuette [12-12-176a] and some inscribed fragments [12-12-176]. [176 circled]

Prof. Junker arrived last night. They laid rail on old causeway east of Lepsius 23, and proceeded to clear pit in mastaba 4.60.

Wednesday, December 18, 1912

Clearing G 2381 X. Copper model tools [12-12-177, 12-12-178, 12-12-179, 12-12-180, 12-12-181, 12-12-182, 12-12-183], fragments of relief, gold foil.

Clearing G 2381 C. Chamber and passage filled with dirt.

Clearing G 2382 B. Few fragments of alabaster statues.

Examining fragments of alabaster statues found in front of G 2370 A and G 2382, found cartouche of Khafre (twice) [12-12-176]. Apparently alabaster statues were hauled here in Dynasty 5 or Dynasty 6 and broken up to make the small alabaster offering dishes of which so many examples have been found.

Worked also on G 2385.
