Description

A group of about fourteen people stand and kneel at the edge of an excavated area on a dry, grassy plain. Several hold shovels, and a wheelbarrow stands at the right; a uniformed man in a fez stands at the left among the workers. Large cut stone blocks, some with rectangular hollows, lie in the excavated ground in the foreground, with loose earth and stones around them.

About fourteen people stand and kneel around a dug area in dry grassland, with a scrubby hillside behind. Several men hold shovels, a man in uniform and fez stands at left, and women in white headscarves are among the group.
