Description

A cluster of long bones and fragments lies on dry excavated soil, with two large jars standing upright among them, one with a broken rim and wide opening. Smaller jugs with handles lie on their sides to the left and foreground, and a small pale figure-like piece sits near the centre. Stones and broken earth surround the group.
