254 B. SHIMBK NEBRASKA "lOESS MAN" 



2. The human bones, pebbles, and shells all found their way into the 

 mound by intrusion. The lime nodules were probably formed after the 

 mound had been constructed. 



3. The human remains in question were not in undisturbed loess and 

 hence are not loess fossils. 



4. These remains present no evidence of the existence of man in the 

 Glacial period, for not only are they not in undisturbed loess, but loess 

 itself is not glacial. 



5. Incidentally, a large part of the surface deposit found along the 

 Missouri river, especially on the west side, is glacial clay, and should not 

 be classed with loess, which here seldom exceeds 35 feet in thickness.
