Description

A skeleton lies extended along the floor of a cut in the rock, its pale bones partly merged with the soil. A cluster of pottery vessels, including jugs and bowls, sits at the upper end against the rock wall, and more vessels lie to the right. Rough rock and earth surround the cut, with a dark opening to the upper left.
