Description

Several pottery vessels, mostly open bowls and a few jars, lie in situ on a raised, sloping surface in an excavated trench. Behind them a vertical earth face rises, with white boxes and a cloth-covered object at the top edge. A dark hollow fills the left side, crossed by a low diagonal ridge of earth.
