Description

Long pale bones lie in the soil of a sloping passage, the dromos leading to Tomb 15 at Vouni, with a rounded lump at lower left. The passage runs diagonally across the frame, its right side in deep shadow, and loose stones and rubble lie at lower right. The bones are partly dark and mixed with earth, but the skeleton is clearly in place.
