a little to the south of the middle the wall curved outwards lo the 

 east side in a semicircle, with radius 062 M. The stone furthest 

 to the west in the end walls lay right out to the slope descending 

 towards the bed of the river. The rest has probably been destroyed. 



Below the slope, on the margin of the river bed, we found the 

 2 fire-places (544) as also some built up stones (545), which sup- 

 ported a horizontal stone 040 M. above the ground. Under this was 

 a small, empty space, possibly a grave receptacle. 



Between the 2 groups of winter-houses y\e found 12 tent-rings, 

 12 shelters, 2 traps, 7 permanent meat-depots, 8 temporary meat-

 I-"lat stones were arranged in a cnrve with a ring against tiie middle. (Plioto. bv the authorU 



stores, 2 fire-places and 1 stone structure made by children, lying 

 mostly on the beach, but also higher up on the land. 



The dimensions of the tent-rings are shown in the table p. 309. 



Under a flat stone ca. 5 meters south of the tent-ring 549 we 

 found a lock of hair (human hair). 



Tent-ring 556 was built on clay ground. From the doorway a 

 passage 60 M. broad led in to the platform. The floorplace on 

 both sides of the passage was paved with flat stones (PI. Ill) in 

 consideration probably of the clay undersoil. On the platform, on, 

 the other hand, there was no paving.
