B-2 : DE. HO'8 About 72 km. above the mouth of the Abary River, the land begins to rise slightly, and forest replaces the swamp vegetation. On the left bank at this point is a small, irregularly shaped, natural elevation in the flood plain. It was originally covered with trees, which were cut when a vacation cottage was erected by Dr. Ho (fig. 61). The elevation is somewhat hourglass shaped, with a length of 69 meters generally paralleling the river. Two wide parts, 30 and 26 meters in width, are separated by a narrow neck. Two small knolls reach an elevation of 1 meter above flood level. Sherds visible on eroded parts of the surface and in drainage ditches indicate that the site occupied all but the low, northeast end of the elevation. A 1- by 2-meter strata cut, controlled in 8-cm. levels, was placed on the southwest knoll with the following results:.
