Context Title: PG/1631      
Context Name (Publication): PG/1631 (Royal Tomb)     
Context Description: One of the smallest of the royal tombs, this grave had been almost completely looted. It consisted mostly of the remains of a rubble-built chamber that had originally been vaulted. The disturbed skeleton of one person was still inside but small space outside the chamber entrance held very little. Woolley presumed this would have held the remains of the attendants to the royal burial, though the space is small and it would have held only a few. Nonetheless, there was no remaining evidence of the human sacrifice that was so vital to his definition of a tomb as 'royal'.
