Description

A dug pit with earth walls seen from above, showing several pottery vessels still lying where they were found on the sandy floor. Among them are a few bowls and a jug-like vessel, some on their sides and some broken, with a large bowl near the centre-right. The left side is a rough, pale cut face of soil and stone.
