Also the ventral surface may be deformed in characteristic fashion, for example having a bulb or eraillure.
PICTURE: PANL B3-226] An outdoor platform on which fish were dried, built on posts and shores (that is, bracing poles on angles), with a floor constructed of longers. In most locations they were spread with boughs (which kept the fish off the longers that in hot weather could "burn" the fish). There were various styles of flakes used in different locations, including "beach flakes" and "bawns" where fish were laid directly onto beach rocks.
