Color: Brown
A color polaroid photograph of the completion of a sump pump pit in the La Casa Nueva basement east room, 2 October 1979. The pit is in the northeast corner and appears to be lines with metal. Wet concrete is set around the hole and the area is fenced off with the chicken-wire fence at the right. A pile of dirt from the pit excavation is at the lower left along with some scraps of wood and metal. Behind and to the side of the pit is part of the concrete retaining wall that lines the basement area. At the bottom of the artifact is a blue pen inscription which reads "Oct 2 - Sump pump pit / Temple Basement." With little indication of wear or damage, the object is in good condition.
