Description

Viewed from above, a pit at Marion is partly excavated, with several pottery vessels still lying in the ground along its left side. A few smaller vessels sit near the back wall, and a rounded stone with scraps of paper stands in the middle of the floor. A blurred dark shape, possibly a person's head, fills the lower right foreground.
