Description

Seen from above, a dark opening holds a cluster of skeletal remains, including a skull and long bones, among several rounded vessels, some broken at the rim. The walls of the cut are pale and rough, and the interior is dark, with a bright reflection at the right. The bones lie in the soil as they were found.
