which is here 2 to 3 meters high and steep. This ring was rect- 

 angular, formed of 2 — 3 large stones with the rest of ordinary size. 

 The floorplace was everywhere paved with flat stones. There was 

 no doorway. The ring was Г70 M. long in east to west direction 

 and 100 M. broad. 



Details of the other tent-rings are given in the table p. 281. 



Shelter 416 was found 30 meters west of the winter-house 403 

 and was built of 10 large stones, from 020 to 070 M. high, some 

 of which were fixed in the ground, and of some smaller stones. 

 The shelter had two spaces,' 200 M. long and 100 M. broad, with 

 the openings facing S. S. W. The central support was a stone 045 

 M. high. 



A shelter made by children (417) was found close to the east 

 of the large shelter. It was built of small stones, rectangular, with 

 the openings towards the south. It was Г25 M. long from north 

 to south, 100 M. broad and was divided longways by a row of 

 stones. 



The second shelter (418) lay 15 meters N. E. of the shelter 

 model and was constructed of large, compactly built stones, 040 M. 

 high, on the south side of a permanent meat-depot. The shelter 

 was 1*25 M. long and had an opening 60 M. broad towards the 

 east. The permanent meat-depot (419) was semicircular, built 

 of large stones up against the east side of a large stone boulder. 

 The depot was 040 M. high, the radius of the ground-plan 030 M. 



Quite to the east on the Naze we found a very small ring of 

 stones (420) which appeared to have been made by children (cf. fig. 13). 

 It was built of ordinary rounded stones. 



Close to the steep southern slope of the Naze we also found 

 many permanent meat-depots and temporary meat-stores (421) and 

 remains of bones were scattered everywhere about the settlement. 

 (Hare, polar bear, walrus, bearded seal, fjord seal, reindeer (including 

 many antlers), musk-ox). 



Along the east shore of Snenæs I found a human underjaw a 

 little way above highwater mark, only 30 — 40 meters north of the 

 winter-houses 406 and 407. 



The burial place was situated about half a kilometer N. E. of 

 the winter-houses 406 and 407, 20—30 meters above the sea (PI. V), 

 on an evenly rising slope. Here there were 3 graves and 4 traps. The 

 graves were built on or near projecting rocks, quite close to natural 

 heaps of large stones, which has saved a long transport of the heavy 

 building materials. On the burial place we found walrus bones, 

 which have probably been dragged up here by dogs or foxes. 



The uppermost grave (422; fig. 38) lay 27 meters above the sea.
