Description

A tomb chamber during excavation, with a group of pottery vessels lying on the sandy floor against a rough, cut rock wall. Bowls, jugs and juglets lie on their sides or turned over, some with handles, and many are clustered toward the right. Thin, pale, elongated bones lie among them in the centre-left, and it is not clear whether they are human.
