Description

A dark, excavated floor is strewn with many human bones, including long limb bones, ribs and a skull at right. Several small vessels and round objects lie among the bones, and the soil is loose and crumbly. A dark vertical face of earth and a cut edge are visible at left, suggesting the chamber's sides.
