Description

A wide excavation area at Idalion Acropolis, with low walls of stone and earth rising out of rubble and trenches. Heaps of excavated soil form banks on the left and in the distance. A man in a light shirt and dark trousers stands at the top right, another man crouches beyond the walls, and two women in head coverings stand at the right edge in the foreground.
