Description

Looking into a rock-cut tomb chamber through a narrow opening, a human skeleton lies partly exposed in dark soil, with arms and legs visible. A jug with a round body and a handle lies beside the legs, and a second vessel sits near the bottom edge of the frame. A wooden ranging pole with a numbered tag stands at the right against the rock face.
