| Description (Modern): | UE II: Flint arrow-heads, chisel edged, 1. 0.022m., width 0.015m. The type is known in Egypt. They were found in a cluster against the foot end of the grave-shaft (outside the coffin) 0.30m above the floor; the shafts must therefore have been 0.30m long and have been in a quiver which was leaned up against the wall of the pit. They would be hunting arrows, probably used for small birds, the chisel edge intended to cut sinews. PG/755. (B. 8300.) (L.) (P.)2 |

 | PG/755 | Typically referred to as the grave of Meskalamdug, items with this name inscribed upon them were found within. It does not, however, appear to be the same Meskalamdug identified as king on items found elsewhere. | (none) |
