Description

Two clusters of small pale clay figurines, many broken or partly buried, stand and lie on the sandy excavated floor. A shallow bowl with fragments sits in the foreground, and a larger head-like figure rises from the earth bank at the right. Scattered sherds and stones lie among the finds, with rock and soil banks behind.
