Locations of paint samples collected from the wheel.

Locations of paint sample collected from the hull.

Red paint--red ochre, a quartz grain coated by very fine particles of hematite (PPL).

Image taken at x1000 magnification, field of view (FOV) is 20 µm.

The same grain (as in the image to the left) under crossed-polars.

Black paint--dark brown particles of asphalt with quartz (colorless) in PPL.

Image taken at x400 magnification, FOV 200 µm.

Blue paint--particles of Egyptian Blue (PPL).

Quickbird satellite image of the site of Gurob with structures (in black outline) and tombs (red dots) superimposed on a UTM grid with 100m spacing (WGS 1984). The structure outlines have been traced over features visible in the satellite image and conform to the excavation plans (see plans above). As the tombs were not visible in the satellite image, they were georeferenced from the plans using ESRI's ArcGIS^tm 9.2. The structures and scale of Petrie's plans were used as baselines. Note Tomb 611 at the lower left (Tomb 24 has not been located and seems not present on Brunton's plan).
