Description

A large two-handled jar with a rounded body and a broken rim sits in dark excavated soil, its upper part filled with earth and crumbled material. A thin stick or tool lies diagonally across the right side of the jar. To the right, a pale vertical face of excavated soil rises, with a dark gap at its base, and the ground around the jar is loose and stony.
