A construction methodology proposed by the author in 2003 to explain how the Great Pyramid was built suggested that workers used the angled faces of the pyramid as surfaces on which to transport block and sledge assemblies. This methodology however would leave few material traces behind making it more difficult to conclusively prove. This article argues that the known concavity of the outer packing blocks of the Great Pyramid provides meangingful archaeological evidence to add weight to the author's proposed construction methodology
