Description

A close view of a vertical face of packed earth in an excavation, showing horizontal layers and scattered small pale stones and gravel. A thin line runs across the upper part of the face, and a larger pale stone sits in the lower right. The loose, lighter ground above the face suggests the excavated surface behind it.
