Description

Olive trees shade an excavation at Lapithos. In the centre, a rectangular cut with a squared edge and a line of stones at its right sits among heaps of loose excavated earth. Two people are visible on the spoil heaps in the background, one bending and one seated, with a building partly visible on the far hillside.
