Description

Bones lie partly articulated in loose, pale soil, seen from above in a close view. A curved row of ribs and several long bones are visible, with the skull and limbs less clear among the scattered fragments. The surrounding earth is uneven and shows small stones and disturbed patches, with no clear tomb walls in the frame.
