Description

A rock-cut tomb photographed from above during excavation, looking down into a dark chamber. A large squared block of stone stands against the back wall with a smaller stone resting on its top, and a flat rock ledge runs along the near edge. The rough, layered rock walls frame the opening, and loose soil and rubble lie at the top of the frame.
