IT IS well known that the sea margin was a superior location for primitive man. In an area so situated that it has remained near the shore despite fluctuations of level, one might expect to find a relatively long and complete record of early man. At LaJolla, Calif, there is such a site. Vertical fluctuations of 300 feet would move the shore line only a small distance laterally-not more than three-quarters of a mile. At the base of the 300-foot scarp of the Linda Vista Mesa is an alluvial fan, now being actively destroyed by wave attack. Exposed in its truncated seaward face, 20 to 30 feet high, is evidence that man lived at La Jolla throughout most, if not all, of the period when the fan was being built
