А small tent-ring is 3"25 

 M. long (the whole length), 185 

 M. long from the back wall 

 to the edge of the platform 

 and 270 M. broad across the 

 latter; a meat-store at the side. 



Most of the tent-rings have 

 direct opening towards the sea 

 1. e. towards the west'. (The 

 direction is approximate). 



A larger tent-ring (drawn 

 by AcHTON Friis) ^ with door- 

 way towards the east^, built 

 presumably against westerly^ 

 winds, is Г64 M. long, floor- 

 place in front of platform 

 1.90 M. (altogether 354 M. 

 long); breadth across plat- 

 form 3-40 M. 



All on gravelly ground 

 sloping towards the sea at 

 from 10-30 feet^ above the 

 surface of the water, with 

 somewhat gravelly foreshore. 

 Suitable for hauling up the 

 kayaks and for sledging, with 

 many large stones suitable for 

 placing the meat on. 



Flat stones had been se- 

 lected for the platform-edge; 

 and for the tent stones, granite 

 of various sizes." 



Details regarding the 

 tent-rings are given in the 

 table p. 316—17. 



Many bones were found 

 on the tenting-ground. (Dog, 

 polar bear, bearded seal, 

 fjord seal, reindeer (includ- 

 ing several antlers), musk- 

 ox (including pieces of 

 skulls)). 



Close to the west of 

 tent-ring 611 lay shelter 635; 



' Magnetic; the deviation here 

 in 1906 was about 4 points 

 to the лvest; thus true S.W. 

 - (Fig. 50). 8 True N. E. 

 * True south-west winds.
