Description

Clustered pottery vessels, many broken, lie packed together in a dark hollow in the excavated soil. Among them are a jar with a wide mouth at the top, a small vessel with a ring neck, and a large two-handled vessel near the centre, with many loose sherds scattered around. Pale pebbles and loose earth form the ground in the foreground.
