map tombe 2 Tombs 2 - 9 have been preserved badly. They date from the latest period of the necropolis and were built at a relatively high level (about one metre above street level). The entrances of all these graves are turned towards the main street. Tombs 2 and 3, the two southernmost tombs, were originally built for inhumation.
In front of the two tombs is the open area with tomb 1.

tombe 2 — Tomb 2. On the right side the pyramid shaped tomb 1.
