Description

Seen from above, an excavated room at Idalion with a packed earth floor and rough stone walls. Several pottery vessels lie in situ on the floor, including a jug with a long neck, a round-bodied vessel and broken pieces with thick stands, with small round objects scattered nearby. A rock-cut recess is visible in the upper left wall, and large stone blocks fill the lower edge.

Description, scan 2: Looking down into a rock-cut hollow with a pale, flat floor bordered by rough stone walls and a rock ledge above. Near the centre a tall jug with a long neck lies beside a small rounded cup and a broken vessel with a spout-like piece. A pale fragment sits at the lower left among small pebbles, and a dark recess opens at the lower left edge.
