Description

Close view of soil-encrusted remains in the ground, with a large rounded skull-like form in the upper centre and a jaw-like piece to its right. Around it lie finds still in place: a small ring, a long thin object, a small bottle-shaped vessel with a handle at lower left, and several small round beads or pebbles. The surrounding earth is loose and crumbly.
