Summary/Abstract: Our excavation in the previous year led to the discovery of the Ptolemaic entrance to Corridor Tomb .(In some reports it i called Structure B. Large parts of this tomb were cleared in the years 1991 92, but the work could not be completed by then). The mud brick walls of the vaulted vestibule of the tomb excavated in 2001 showed that at least on one occasion they needed a rebuilding. Further architectural structures came to light in front of this room in 2002. One of them may be a pylon gateway leading to the open court of this tomb. There was a a quadratic mud brick structure on this open court of which no more than the basis remained preserved. It cannot be proved yet that it may have been a small pyramid.
