Description

Pottery vessels lie in a dark hollow cut into the soil, with a large leaning slab behind them. Several vessels, including a narrow-necked juglet and some rounded jars, sit among loose earth. In the foreground a rectangular stone block and a smaller rounded stone rest on the floor of the cut, with earth walls rising on either side.
