Description

Two people stand on top of a low earthen mound, a man on the right in a shirt, shorts and hat and a figure on the left in a light shirt, shorts and pale helmet-style hat. In the foreground low stone wall foundations run across the excavated mound, and a trench cuts along its edge. Behind them a wide flat plain stretches to distant hills under a hazy sky, with a dark tree on the left.
