Description:	UE 2: The positive depth of this grave, 9.50 m. below the present surface, is deceptive in that rubbish containing light-coloured bricks apparently of Third Dynasty type were here found at a depth of six metres, and the bottom of the shaft (which could be traced only below this level) was probably only about 3.50 m. below the contemporary ground-surface. The bottom of the pit was lined with plano-convex mud bricks which had been concealed by a further lining of mats; so far as could be made out, the weave of the matting was unusual and produced a rectangular panel pattern. At the bottom of the pit, but not quite filling it, was a wooden coffin measuring I.90 m. by 0.80 m. and 0.65 m. deep. The coffin lid was gabled, made of two planks of which one, 0.28 m. wide, was remarkably well preserved-that is, the impression and colour of it left in the soil was remarkably clear, v. PI. 78a; the sides were strengthened with five external stays, 0.06 m. by 0.03 m. thick, one at each corner and the others at intervals of 0.40 m. In the coffin the body lay with its head to the north-west on its right side in the usual slightly flexed attitude; the skull was completely crushed by fallen earth; the body was that of a man.¹
