Description

A close view of a dark, crumbly excavated surface packed with broken stones and rubble of varying sizes. Larger stone blocks sit in the soil on the left and right, and the lower part shows loose earth and smaller fragments. No people, tools or structure outlines are clearly visible, so the theatre itself is hard to identify from this frame.

Description, scan 2
A close view of a vertical face of excavated soil, dark and crumbly, with many angular stones and rubble packed into it. Some stones form a cluster near the centre, and smaller fragments are scattered across the lower part of the frame. No people or equipment are visible; the scene is a cut face in the ground.
