Fig. 6. Distribution of the longer axis orientation in pebbles of 5-9.5 cm fraction, from the upper
level of the site (Shaft 16, Figs. 1,4) presented as a circle diagram: A - NW part of the
downhill flow; B - SW part of the downhill flow; 1 - percentage share of pebbles in 5o angle
sectors; 2 - direction of downhill water flow estimated on the basis of inclination of sandy
layers; 3 - average vector of downhill water flow direction estimated on the basis of longer-
axis orientation of pebbles.


Fig. 7. Distribution of the longer axis orientation in pebbles of 5.5-11 cm fraction from the section
in line with Shaft 1 (Figs. 1, 5): 1 - percentage share of pebbles in 5o angle sectors; 2 -
direction of downhill water flow estimated on the basis of inclination of sandy-gravel lay-
ers; 3 - average vector of downhill water flow direction estimated on the basis of longer axis
orientation of pebbles
