  • poor (much reduced for later graves)
  • good
  • Remains of a skeleton cut by 4372 (cut for HRU 4370* above) visible in tomb along north side of narthex in corridor II. Head, part of the upper spine, arm and pelvis remain (pelvis is flipped, may not belong to 4400*).
  • Not fully excavated in 2009. Was thought to be an unarticulated reduction and was initially dug as such, until it became clear that it was articulated and passed outside the limits of the tomb (out of phase). Excavated in 2010.
