^{page 176 note 6} It is interesting to note that the different periods of house construction could be recognised in the field, from the varying discolorations of the material filling the post-holes and wall-slots; thus the traces of houses of periods I and II showed up as brownish grey in colour, those of period in as grey, and those of periods IV and V as black.

Bertsch's main results and many of his diagrams are also printed in Reinerth's book (op. cit.), to which references in the present text to Bertsch's diagrams refer.

^{page 178 note 4} Reinerth claims that the pollen-analysis, if strictly interpreted, would place the Dullenried site in the Late Bronze Age, but it would be difficult to agree with this view.

^{page 182 note 1} These can be expressed in terms of percentages. Thus a site 20 feet above modern sea-level would in relation to a strand line standing at 50 feet have a value of 40%: a site at 50 feet above sea-level would have the same value where the same strand line stood at 125 feet.

^{page 182 note 2} Actually, as is well known, the post-glacial emergence was interrupted by a phase of subsidence at the height of which the Tapes strand was formed. It is possible that archaeological sites situated below the Tapes lines and belonging to time immediately prior to the phase of subsidence may have been destroyed by the sea during this phase. It is possible, therefore, that the latest stages of the Finnmarkian have been destroyed, although the general distribution of sites shown on Fig. 1 makes it likely that sites belonging to this time did not exist; for some height above the Tapes line the sites have already thinned out, and in fact have almost disappeared.
