Description

A view down onto an excavated area where many broken stone sculpture fragments lie among earth and rubble. Among them are rounded, cylindrical pieces that resemble limbs or drums, and a rounded head-like form with a ridged surface on the left. Small pale tags sit on a few pieces, and large dressed blocks border the lower edge of the cut.

Description, scan 2: Photographed from above, a dug pit holds many broken pale stone fragments lying among dark soil. Rounded pieces, cylindrical sections and blocks are scattered across the pit, including a head-like rounded form with a textured surface at the left. A larger fragment runs diagonally across the centre, and small white markers placed among the pieces serve as scale.
