Description

A shallow excavated pit seen from above, with dark soil and large rounded stones scattered across its floor. Among them lie bones, including a long bone with a knobbed end and a cluster of articulated vertebra-like pieces in the centre, along with two small pale figurines, one near the top right and one lower centre. The cut edges of the excavation are visible at the top and right.
