To determine the depth of the gravel layer of T5, we inserted a geoslicer and a soil sampler until they hit gravel and stopped; we repeated this measurement many times. We confirmed that the thickness of swamp deposits was 30–50 cm from the surface, which suggested that radiocarbon samples we obtained were from the bottom of the swamp deposits and, thus, were suitable for estimating the age of T5
