Description

A narrow excavated cutting between large blocks of stone, with a dense cluster of pottery vessels lying on its floor. Jugs, bowls and dishes are heaped together, including a large jar with a wide body on the left, and more vessels are scattered against the stone face on the left. The floor is pale and dusty, and the sides rise steeply to rough earth beyond.
