Context Title: PG/1618     
Context Name (Publication): PG 1618 (Royal Tomb)     
Context Description: This grave consisted of a large wooden coffin in which lay the remains of a man wearing four 'brim' headbands. Remains of another headdress on what Woolley believed was a decayed wig were also found in the coffin. Outside the coffin were offerings and four skeletons in what constituted a small death pit. In many ways this grave resembles PG/755 and PG/1422, neither of which was identified as 'royal' because in those cases there was no evidence of additional bodies.
