Description

A trench at Amathus holds three large pale stone slabs, two standing upright and one lying flat, with smaller stones packed around their bases. The slabs stand out against the dark soil of the excavation walls, and loose stones lie in the ground nearby. Dark shapes at the upper right edge may be tools, but they are not clearly identifiable.
