materials had been used large and small. Hat stones. The ground 

 had not been very much dug out, but the walls were built up 

 above the ground of flatter stones. The platform was made of 

 gravel and there were side-platforms at each side. The back wall 

 was 280 M. broad, the side walls 220 M. long and the front wall 

 338 M. broad. The passage was 058 M. broad and ca. 250 M. long. 

 It led out from the front wall 1 M. from the eastern side wall, and 

 looked straight towards the south. In the house we found among 

 other things 2 harpoon heads with bone points. 



The entrance to the winter-house 135 also led due south, whereas 

 in some of the others there was a bend in the passage.
