bestrewn
Littered all over
Bestrewn is the past participle of bestrew, meaning scattered or strewn about.
It describes a surface covered with things lying in disorder: The floor was bestrewn with rose petals.
The word is literary and old-fashioned; most speakers would say "strewn" or "covered with" instead.
