PG/1050
Context Title: | PG/1050 |
Context Name (Publication): | PG 1050 (Royal Tomb) |
Context Description: | An intricate and problematic grave, the entire complex identified as PG/1050 may in fact belong to several episodes of burial rather than a single grave. At the top was a four-chamber mudbrick construction that contained layers of skeletons and pottery. Beneath these layers, and indeed the mudbrick construction itself, sat a layer of packed earth 70cm thick. Woolley found a pit cut below the packed earth and believed this to be the main grave, believing the construction above to be related to ceremony following the fill of the main grave. The side of the pit stepped in several places, however, and may indicate more than one burial episode even in this portion of PG/1050. At one level sat the remains of a reed coffin, at a deeper level, a wooden one. The wooden coffin rested on a thick prepared surface and beneath part of this lay around 40 bodies, which Woolley took to be the death pit of the royal tomb. He believed there must have been a chamber above and that it had been looted, but could find no evidence of the looter's access and could not fully explain the lack of a chamber. |
