Description

A partly excavated pit shows a skeleton lying extended with its bones exposed in dark soil, the skull at the right end. Large pale rock or cut stone forms the upper wall of the cutting, and loose soil and stones lie in the foreground. No people are working in view; the photograph is taken from above at an angle.
