Description

A deep, narrow test trench cut into the soil runs toward the viewer, with a pale spoil heap along its right edge and a tree at the upper left. A woman in a headscarf, light jacket and long skirt stands in the middle of the trench, a man in a cap and jacket stands further back, and another woman is partly visible at the left wall. Beyond, fields, a winding dirt road and hills stretch into the distance.
