Description

Seen from above, a dense cluster of pottery vessels lies in the excavated ground, some whole and many broken, with rims and bases scattered among sherds. Jug-like and bowl-like forms are mixed together in the heap. At upper left, a shallow box holds more broken pieces, and flat boards or trays lie along the top edge of the frame.
