Description

A cluster of about twenty small pottery vessels, including jugs, juglets and bowls, lies on a sandy floor at the foot of a pale, layered earth wall. Some vessels are broken or tilted, and a larger jar stands upright against the wall on the right. No people are working in the frame, and the surrounding floor shows loose rubble and soil.
