Description

Workers stand around an excavated trench at Soli, where large cut stone blocks lie in a line across the dug ground. A man on the left holds a shovel with its blade resting in the soil, and a woman in a dark headscarf and long dress stands at the right edge of the trench. Further back, figures stand near wheelbarrows and a wooden box, with heaped earth and rubble around the cutting.
