| Comment | The radiocarbon dating of a grave was 7875 +/- 500 B.P., putting the settlement in Mesolithic period. However, the dating is to be questioned because a) the sample came from an unfavorable spot, b) no Mesolithic finds could be found on the island and c) the retrieved finds are all dating in Neolithic/Early Bronze Age. |
