Description

Looking down into a narrow cut in the soil with steep sides, the excavators' view of the tomb chamber. Several flat stone slabs lie across the far end, and a small pottery vessel sits to the right beside them. A broken vessel or sherds lie in the dark fill in the middle, and a large rough stone block lies in the foreground.
