Description

A cutting into a soil bank shows a dark cavity beneath an overhanging earth layer, with grass growing along the top edge. In the lower left, several pottery vessels, including a jug with a wide mouth and small juglets, lie against a heap of stones. Further right, rounded vessels sit in the back of the cavity, and a jug-like vessel is set into the cut face.
