Further, bones were found in tent-ring 554, (bean goose, hare^ 

 bearded seal, fjord seal and reindeer (antlers)). Round the tent- 

 rings on the flat point we found bones of polar bear, bearded seal 

 and fjord seal. 



Close to the tent-ring 546 to the south was a small, temporary 

 meat-store (558), 030 M. in diameter. A second (559), 0-20 M. in all 

 directions, lay 2 meters west of tent-ring 547. 



At the tent-rings 551 and 552, furthest out on the flat point, 

 we found a fire-place (560), 1 meter east of the doorway to tent-ring 

 551. It was 025 M. square, 010 M. high and open to the south. —

Further, 20 meters E.W. E. of tent-ring 552, on a small gravel bank,

Three meters S. E. of tent-ring 557 was another fire-place (562). 

 It was 0-20 M . long, 010 M. broad and 010 M. high. (Bean-goose,
