Supplementary Data on Early Man in America

Abstract

E. H. Sellards’ recent paper, Early Man in America, was intended to be an index to all localities in which human remains are reported to have been found associated with extinct animals or in deposits that appear to be of an age equivalent to those that elsewhere contain extinct animals. The author states that some localities doubtless have been overlooked that should have been included.It so happens that prior to writing the Folsom paper to which Sellards refers, I had outlined a general discussion of Early Man in America. In so doing I came across a considerable part of the literature which was never reproduced in the abbreviated Folsom paper as published. A check with Sellards’ paper allows me to add the following sites for which the same reservation holds which Sellards made, insofar as some of these sites might not meet the requirements of bona fide antiquity.
