Description

Long bones of a skeleton lie partly exposed in pale, loose soil, with several bone shafts arranged side by side. Two rounded vessels sit in the soil to the right, one upright and one tipped on its side, and a small fragment lies at the left edge. The surrounding ground is crumbly earth with stones and flecks of lighter material.
