The northernmost part of the excavated area has no traces of architecture. The horizontal cultural layers, however, lie here entirely undisturbed. They form the continuation of those which cover the pit Petra I. An interesting observation was made during the excavation, which was very variable from the point of view of weather. It was namely observed that whatever storms raged around the small unprotected island, there was always within the excavated area, especially down in the depression (Petra I), a place which was entirely unaffected by the wind conditions around the island. Up on the top at the same time the wind was often so strong that one could hardly stand upright. The well-sheltered position of the locality probably played some role in the choice of settlement site by the palaeolithic people.
