… there is, however, a significant change as regards the stratigraphy. Between the two earlier mentioned layers of different consistency there is here a layer of charcoal and ash, nearly a decimetrethick along the syd wall, which thins out away from the corner. When these matters have been established, the layers are excavated (cut with the knife). During the course of the excavation it becomes apparent, however, that that on the one hand the lower layer does not contain any finds as expected and on the other hand the earth conditions 0,50 m from the south wall change. Here the layers are as follows: under 1 a relatively loose, somewhat lighter layer follows the previously mentioned 2 charcoal and ash layer, which in general is horizontal. Beneath this follows 3 a hard dark brown layer of completely sterile earth. In the dark ash ash layer, up to decimetre-thick ash layer, are embedded larger and smaller lumps of ordinary earth, and in these the objects which will shortly be described seem to be found, are found A section of the layers 20 cm from the SW corner (inner side) gives the following re- … continues
