Description

A view down into an excavated trench with earthen cut faces on the back and right sides. The floor of the trench is pale and smooth, with a line of loose stones and rubble running across the foreground near the edge. No people, tools or finds are visible; the photograph shows the soil layers of the cut walls and the stones in the trench.
