Excavation at Ayia Irini, in situ find

Description
A trench cut into earth, with a large round stone basin in the centre holding loose soil and a rough stone block to its right. Behind them a crowded mass of terracotta figurines, many with conical headdresses, stands packed together against the dark trench face. Elongated pieces lie at the lower right, unclear whether they are figurine parts or bones.
