Description

Fragmentary long bones and other skeletal remains lie in dirt on the floor of a tomb chamber. A rounded, partly exposed piece sits at the upper right, and loose stones and earth surround the bones. A thin rod lies diagonally across the lower right corner, and the curved chamber wall rises behind the remains.
