Description

A human skeleton lies stretched out in the soil of an excavated pit, its long bones running diagonally toward the upper right. The skull at lower left is broken open, and a small vessel with a narrow spout lies against the rock face at left. A second small vessel with a spout sits near the skull at bottom centre, with loose bones and soil scattered around.
