Description

A deep cut trench with earthen walls runs diagonally across the view, with a dark recess at its far end. On the trench floor at left, a cluster of pottery vessels lies together, with a few smaller bowls nearby. Large stone blocks lie on the floor and against the edge of the trench, and a wooden frame stands at the lower right edge.
