By: Reider, Richard G..

Abstract
Reider studied the morphology and genesis of the soils of the buried paleoarroyo of Moss Agate Creek. The idea was to be able to do some paleoenvironmental reconstruction of the site. The data that pertain to the Clovis levels and the levels above Hell Gap were not marked for OCM codes (Outline of Cultural Materials).
