Discussion of virtual reconstruction and interpretative choices
Title
The superstructure of this tomb was poorly preserved, Silverman stated only to a level of 1m; the model was based on the ground plan and axial drawings published by Silverman (2000: figs 1, 6, 9) with heights estimated from Silverman’s reconstruction drawings, with the minimum height of the tomb ceiling at ~2.7 meters, with the offering chapel slightly taller, ~3 meters; the exterior walls were given a slight angle, in accordance with other mastaba forms, although what the angle of the exterior walls is hypothetical
