Description

Several pale vessels and broken fragments lie clustered together at the base of a dark excavated pit, against a sloping pale earth face on the right. Some are rounded bowls or jars, some lying on their sides or upturned, and others are partly covered by soil. Strong sunlight lights the right side of the frame while the left side falls into deep shadow.
