Context Title: PG/777     
Context Name (Publication): PG 777 (Royal Tomb)     
Context Description: A built chamber tomb with a collapsed dome, it had been robbed in antiquity but some artifacts remained along the walls. The collapsed roof of this tomb was first seen in Trial Trench E but the grave was fully excavated after the trial trenches had been opened into a larger area. This led to the discovery of a small trenched area next to the chamber that contained three skeletons, and an approach or dromos that contained another. These Woolley took to be the guards of the tomb in a small 'death pit'. There were two chambers inside the tomb, and the outer held the remains of four more people, possibly servants, while the inner may have held the royal personage.

7869 (none) (none) (none) Copper cullender. Flat rim, thin metal: the cup pierced with 6 rows of small holes: handle made in one piece with rim, fairly solid, rectangular section, bent over at end, clearly having been in a wooden handle. [drawing]
9781 (none) (none) B16706 Gold Diadem With impressed star pattern [drawing] At the ends are wires made by cutting the thin metal sheet into a very narrow ribbon which was then tightly twisted into a wire. Both wires are broken and the attachment of one is missing.
9783 (none) (none) B17677 Beads 14 gold ring spacers and a quantity of small lapis beads and carnelian rings: for order see Field Notes. With them are mixed the smaller lapis beads mentioned in the Field Notes as probably belonging to the headdress. [drawing 1:1]
9784 (none) (none) B17668 Beads 1 Small gold 6 small lapis; and a large number of carnelian rings, all strung up together: see Field Notes.

9787 (none) (none) B17588 Gilt Ornaments. Short copper rods, 006 long, originally encased with very thin gold. Some of these had attached to one end of them 2 small gold leaves: others had a gold flower rosette and the gold leaf had come off. Probably part of the head ornament 9785. Others had a rim round the stem near but not at the end: and there were found fragments of hollow gold leaf-like balls which may have gone above these so as rather to resemble a pomegranate. The copper stems were pierced with very small holes 0005 apart so must have served as spacers for beads, or else been sewn onto something. One of the gold flowers was fixed to a double silver bead, and to one also silver rosettes were similarly attached. [additional drawing on back of card] [drawing]
