Findspots:
Unknown examples from the 'pit Gurnah N°II' (Mond 1905 [ASAE 6]: 92, 95). This pit is situated in the residence of Abd el-Rasoul (cf. Collins 1976 [JEA 62]: Fig. 68). This is, however, named 'pit 1002', located on utterly different place in PM 2 p. 668. The reliability of the information of PM 2 is uncertain.
Unknown examples from the wady of Senenmut (= near TT 71) in 1936 (01-222 in Davies's notebook).
One from the outside of TT 61 (01-222 in Davies's notebook).
One from TT 122 (Shirley 2010: Pp. 285, 297 n. 52).
Remarks:
The inscriptions on # 358 and # 370 do not state the owner Useramun himself was 'jmj-rA njwt' and 'TAtj'. However, the inscription on # 355 does state that he was. Furthermore, the former two cones were made for TT 61, while # 355 was for TT 131, which had a pyramid. It is notable that having a tomb with a pyramid was quite rare for a private person at that time. These facts lend support to the hypothesis that User initially had # 358 and # 370, and subsequently, following his promotion, constructed a new tomb with a pyramid and a new cone that reflected his new office.
