Description

Close view of excavated earth at Ayios Iakovos with three long, tube-shaped bones lying diagonally at upper right. Stones and rough rubble lie in the surrounding soil, with small fragments at upper left and a large stone block below centre. Shadows from the uneven edges of the cut ground show the soil is broken into different levels.
