Tomb 5 at Ayios Iakovos, during excavation

Description
A deep, narrow cutting in pale soil descends toward a tomb opening in the far wall. A long flat stone slab lies across the lower part of the opening, and the dark interior is visible behind it. The steep earthen sides of the excavation rise on both sides and along the foreground.
