IGN123

Tomb IGN123 is located in the north-western corner of the AlAhmar necropolis massif, facing west, about 4 meters above the ground. The tomb is exposed to atmospheric agents due to the absence of cover, especially rainwater. The entrance is framed by a cornice and an intrados, roughly sketched. Inside, it consists of a single, irregularly shaped burial chamber.
