A smiling, focused 35-year-old male archaeologist kneeling on light sandy ground, carefully holding a small pottery shard in one hand and a fine brush in the other, wearing a khaki jacket, wide beige hat, brown boots and knee pads; to his left a 25-year-old female cartographer with her hair tied back stands drawing a plan on a large clipboard resting on a wooden crate; to his right a crouched 30-year-old male photographer with short hair points a black camera at the fragment with an orange backpack beside him; slightly behind, a kindly 55-year-old female village advisor with gray tied-back hair stands with folded hands; the outdoor dig site shows square trenches marked by white strings, a yellow tape fluttering in the breeze, small wooden crates, brushes and trowels laid out, low houses and gentle hills in the background under a pale blue sky — the team calmly and carefully uncovers the small pottery fragment in the first square in a soft, studious morning atmosphere with simple composition, flat contrasting colors and clear, child-friendly shapes.
