A Revised Interpretation of the Lagow Discovery, Texas

The results of the F-U-N tests by Oakley and Howells, which show that the Lagow skeleton is not of the same antiquity as the Pleistocene fauna at the site, make possible a reinterpretation of the depositional sequence recorded by Shuler, who reported the apparent association of human remains with Pleistocene fauna. The Lagow human skeleton is now seen as an intrusive into the Upper Shuler yellow sand after the Pemberton Hill-Lewisville (T-2) terrace had been built up and eroded down to near the level of occurrence. Since the age of the overlying red clays is estimated to be about 9500 years, the Lagow skeleton may possibly be early Archaic
