Description

Several people dig on a rocky hillside at Palaeoskoutella, using hoes and picks among scattered stones and low scrub. Two men stand watching at left, one in a striped jumper and one in a white shirt and fez, while a figure sits at far right. A tripod stands in the foreground and a wide valley with hills stretches behind.

Description, scan 2: Workers in light head coverings and robes dig with hoes in a rocky excavation area on a hillside. Two men in a hat and a fez-like cap and a woman in a headscarf stand at the left edge, and a tripod stands in the foreground beside a rounded object. Bushes frame the site, and a wide valley with hills extends into the distance.
