Ethnographic Description of the Eskimo Settlements 



271 



on the naze there was still another tent-ring (338). (Bearded seal, 

 fjord seal, musk-ox and fragments of a large whalebone). 



Close to the tent-ring in the N. E. we found a small semicircle 

 of white stones (339), 1 M. broad (cf. p. 198)'. 



On the south side of the naze — in a small clump of rocks — 

 there were many, large, well-built, permanent meat-depots and tem- 

 porary meat-stores (340) (fig. 35). Large stones had been used for 

 the store-places and in some cases holes in the rocks — covered 

 with flat stones — so that they appeared like cellars.

Seen from the N. W. In the foreground the tent-ring ä4G, under the elitf to the left 350 and in 



the l)ackground 354. Tent-ring 347 (cf. the sketch fig. 32) can be detected due S. E. of 34G, but 



the tent-rings 348, 349, 351 and 352 cannot be seen. (Photo, by A. Luxd.\ger). 



The remaining tent-rings were found along the low coast south 

 of the naze; information regarding these is given in the above table 

 (p. 270). 



Some bones were found between the tent-rings 346—355. (Wal- 

 rus, bearded seal). 



The tent-rings 348 and 349 were large, but were not examined 

 very closely; they were but faintly indicated in the landscape, as 

 many of the stones had sunk in the ground. 



Tent-ring 353 was compactly built (fig. 2). In its western part 

 a row of stones 1 M. long cut off a small space, up to 055 M. broad.
