Ethnographic Description of the Eskimo Settlements

The fire-place 652 was found 2 meters S. W. of the tent-ring 

 615. It was open to the south, 25 M. long, 020 M. broad and 

 0-15 M. high Fire-place 653 lay 20 meters S. S. E. of tent-ring 630. 

 It was open towards the E. N. E. and 30 M. square. 



A single row of stones (654), consisting of 7 large, rounded 

 stones was found 5 meters north of the tent-ring 614. Its direction 

 was north-south, its length 2"35 M. and the height of the stones 

 from 016 to 0-26 M. 



The kayaks rests (655) were found 4 meters S. E. of the tent- 

 ring 624; they lay N. E. to S.W. Between the north-east and the 

 middle rests the distance was Г25 M., between the middle and the 

 south-western 200 M. The north-east rest was formed of built-up 

 stones and was 050 M. high and 0*60 M. long (in N. W. to S. E. 

 direction) above. The middle rest was built in a similar manner 

 and was 050 M. high and 100 M. broad (N. E.— S.W.) above. The 

 south-west rest was formed of two stone pillars, 050 M. high, which 

 together were Г00 broad above. 



During the work on Foraarsboplads I endeavoured to identify 

 the stone structures mentioned by Mylius-Erichsen and Johansen. 



The smaller, permanent meat-depot measured by Mylius-Ericsen 

 is the same as permanent meat-depot 644, and shelter 635 with the 

 temporary meat-store 636 attached is what Mylius-Erichsen de- 

 scribed as a permanent meat-depot. The tent-rings are perhaps some 

 of those indicated as "disturbed tent-rings"; I was unable to identify 

 them. 



Johansen, in addition to giving information regarding the shelter 

 635 and temporary meat-store 636, has given the measurements of 

 two tent- rings measured by him; they were probably the tent-rings 

 609 and 624 measured by me. Further, he had also noticed small 

 collections of stones, resembling broken down fire-places, possibly 

 652 and 653, as also some stones which were arranged in a short 

 row, probably 654.
