The image depicts an outdoor excavation site in Ufueseni, Nigeria. The environment consists of a large, exposed earthen wall with distinct stratifications: the upper section is reddish-brown with darker vertical streaks, while the lower section is composed of lighter, off-white granular material. A significant pile of this light-colored granular material is accumulated in the foreground and midground. A dark-skinned adult male is positioned in the midground, standing barefoot on the granular pile. He is shirtless, wearing dark shorts with a yellow stripe on the side and a visible blue waistband. He is bent forward, holding a pickaxe with a wooden handle and metal head with both hands, directed towards the granular material. A small, dark object is present in his mouth. In the left midground, partially obscured by a blurry dark-skinned finger extending from the extreme left foreground, two additional metal-headed digging implements with dark handles are standing upright in the ground. A piece of light-colored fabric or clothing is visible on a ledge in the upper reddish-brown section of the earthen wall. The scene is brightly lit by natural light.
