Description

A close view down onto excavated soil in a tomb chamber, with bones lying in the earth at the upper left, including what looks like a long limb bone. Several vessels are partly exposed among the bones: a rounded jug or bowl with a handle in the centre, a large jar at the right and a broken rim at the lower left. The surface is crumbly and dusty, and the photograph has no people or equipment visible.
