Description

A man in a light shirt stands behind a tripod-mounted camera at the edge of a deep excavation trench, looking into it while another man in a striped shirt steadies the apparatus. Workers in headcloths and dark clothing stand and crouch among heaps of stone rubble and cut blocks, and wooden boxes holding finds sit along the trench edges. Loose soil and spoil surround the cutting.
