Comments

The tomb is most likely to be located in the so-called 'Great Cemetery', or Cemetery N, at Naqaqda and not at Ballas. It belongs to a group of tomb that were mistakenly numbered with numbers already attritubed to other tombs excavated earlier, and Petrie corrected the mistake by adding the numberal "1" in front of the tomb number (See Droux, XYZ).
