 | PG/1157 | PG/1157 is a "death pit of the poorer sort" (UE2 p.168) but Woolley was uncertain whether to connect PG/1151 and PG/1156 above it into a single royal grave of the sort of complicated structure seen in PG/1050 and PG/1054. Both PG/1151 and PG/1156 were coffin burials with minor high-end materials and the PG/1151 coffin had a lyre leaning against it (recovered in plaster). Beneath the coffins was a shaft filled with plano-convex bricks. At its base was a layer of pottery and then 58 skeletons. Woolley could identify no chamber with this death pit and proposed that it had been destroyed; he eventually decided the two coffins above were likely to be intrusive and unrelated to PG/1157 but published them together. | (none) |
