Theatre at Soli: stone steps during excavation
Description
Large dressed limestone blocks form a flight of steps rising from left to right across the frame, with a rough stone wall and a higher bank of rock behind. The foreground is loose excavated soil, and a deep cut lies below the steps where the earth has been removed. No people or equipment are visible.

- A flight of stone steps made of large squared blocks rises from the excavated ground at lower left toward the upper right. Walls of stacked blocks flank the steps, and fallen stones and rubble lie on the upper levels. Loose excavated soil fills the foreground, and a sloping hillside with a line of stone wall runs along the top right of the view.
