Lapithos topography: excavation with a tent and a mountain or rock

Description
Deep excavation trenches cut into pale soil in the foreground, with a bucket on a trench edge and a pick lying at the bottom of a cutting. Behind, a low stone wall runs across the plain below a steep, rocky mountain ridge. At the right, a white tent and a small white building stand among scrub, and a wooden stake stands in the trench.
