Description

An extended skeleton lies on its back on the floor of a tomb chamber, with long bones and ribs visible in the pale soil. A round shallow dish lies beside the body, and several vessels, including jugs and bowls, are clustered along the right edge and at the top right. The soil is dark and uneven, and a dark tool-like object with a pointed end stands at the bottom centre.
