Photograph

English, translated from the French record

View to the east of stratigraphic unit S20-11 being excavated at Sondage 20 in the Mound, Kition, 2019 season: a dark brown, clayey earth layer that appears to cover the pit or trench stratigraphic unit S20-13 (locus 924). The layer seems to follow roughly the orientation of the wall at locus 921.

French, as on the record

Kition-Mound; fouilles 2019; sondage 20; photo en cours de l'US S20-11; vue vers le E; fouille de la couche de terre brune foncé, argileuse, qui semble couvrir la fosse/tranchée US S20-13 (locus 924); la couche semble suivir à peu près l'orientation du mur locus 921
