Description

Three photographs on a card mount with printed captions. The two upper views show clusters of small pottery vessels lying in soil and rock crevices, some with handles and spouts, with dark openings in the rock behind them. The lower photograph shows one tall jar with a narrow neck and two small handles near the shoulder, cracked across its body, standing on a pale backdrop beside a checked scale bar.
