Pottery vessels lie scattered across a sandy floor against a pale rock wall, several of them whole and others broken into sherds. Round-bodied vessels with handles stand among small bowls and cups, and fragmentary bones lie in the centre and at the left edge. The view is taken from above at an angle, with the grave goods left in place as found.
