Although sherds were found throughout the 70- by 17-meter site area, the major portion of the surface collection comes from the southwestern sector where there was no grass cover. A few scattered sherds were found in the flat between dry land and the creek bed, in the region traversed to reach the water source at low tide (fig. 25).

Although sherds were found throughout the 70- by 17-meter site area, the major portion of the surface collection comes from the southwestern sector where there was no grass cover. A few scattered sherds were found in the flat between dry land and the creek bed, in the region traversed to reach the water source at low tide (fig. 25). A small strata cut, 1- by 1 meter, was excavated in 15 cm. levels about halfway between the road and the upper edge of the site, where recent disturbance seemed minimal. The following conditions were ob- served : Ijevel 0-15 cm__ Soil medium gray with numerous lateritic concretions to a depth of 12 cm., changing to light reddish-brown loam with more abundant concretions at 12-15 cm. Sherds abundant in upper 10-12 cm., absent below. Level cm__ Sterile, reddish-brown soil color continues to 25 cm., where soil changes to orange-red clay (the soil profile in this excavation is the same as that revealed in the road cut). N-20 : KOBERIMO HILL (KOBARIMA, KOBERINO, KOBARINO) Koberimo Creek skirts the south edge of Koberimo Hill before flowing out into the swamp to empty into the Aruka River (figs. 4, 22). N-20 is on a nearly level shelf at the base of the hill next to the creek. The bank rises rather steeply to a height of 4 meters above the swamp level before leveling off, and the site begins about on the 4-meter contour. The refuse deposit extends 75 meters along the creek and 25 meters inward. The surface was free of undergrowth and the site limits were easily definable by the contrast between the black soil of the habitation refuse and the reddish-brown sterile soil of.
