Description

An excavation trench at Plakes, Lapithos, with cut faces of layered brown soil rising on several sides. Pale, rough-surfaced stones lie in the foreground at the bottom of the cutting, and a thin upright stick stands at the upper left. A taut cord runs diagonally across the middle of the trench floor.
