Description

A scatter of pottery sherds lies in a trench cut into compacted soil at Idalion Acropolis. Larger curved fragments, possibly from a big vessel, sit at the right, while smaller broken pieces spread across the floor of the cut and against a low earth step. Earth banks rise around the excavated area behind them.
