Description

Several people dig in a sandy excavation with picks and hoes. A man in a hat and waistcoat sits on a raised ledge at right, and two wheelbarrows and an A-frame stand near the top of the dig. A heap of loose stones fills the foreground, and women in headscarves and men in caps and waistcoats work across the site under a hazy sky.
