IGN68

Tomb IGN68 is located on the eastern side of the main massif in sector II of the Khuraymat necropolis. The natural rock formation, characterized by deep alveoli and a horizontal stratification joint, has significantly affected the conservation and construction of the tomb. The facade faces southeast, receiving sunlight in the first half of the day.

The poor state of conservation does not allow for the identification of any decorated facade elements; the only remaining features are two portions of the cleaning trench. The interior consists of a main quadrangular chamber and a rectangular burial cell carved into the right wall.
