Description

A field photograph inside a rock-cut tomb chamber, lit from above so that the floor is brightly lit and the walls are dark. On the left are several pots and jars, some broken, one with a handle, and on the right a skeleton lies partly exposed with dark, fragmented bones and soil around it. Small bowls, sherds and a few thin rod-like objects lie scattered across the floor between them.
