Description

A trench has been cut through soil to expose a area of flat stone slabs and smaller set stones, forming a paved surface that runs diagonally across the picture. Large squared slabs lie in the foreground, and the cut edge of the trench shows layers of dark soil. Loose stones and a few small markers lie on the ground at the edges, and no people are visible.
