Abstract
IN a preliminary statement issued by the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, Dr. F. F. H. Roberts, jun., reports that in the course of last summer, his fifth season of excavation of the camp station of Folsom man on the now famous Lindenmeier site in northern Colorado, he recovered a large number of bones of the animals which formed the food of Folsom man, together with several new types of knives and scrapers, but all unquestionably showing signs of Folsom workmanship. Bones engraved with geometrical designs were again found, but none showing any attempt at either picture writing or the representation of animal forms. Associated with the implements was the tusk of a mammoth. Although remains of the mammoth have been found in association with relics of Folsom man in New Mexico, this is the first indication of its presence on the Lindenmeier site.
