The Klein site Clovis locality consists oflithic artifacts and mammoth and horse bone that have eroded from a small, low-relief gravel ridge disturbed by agricultural practices. The ridge is on the late Pleistocene Kersey terrace of the South Platte River and is part of a ridge-swale landscape produced by the river as it flowed in a braided pattern across an aggrading floodplain. Two soil types, Ustol and Aquoll, have formed in the fine-grained sediments that mantle the ridges and swales, respectively. Investigations at the Klein site and others on the Kersey terrace suggest that Paleoindian materials may be found in association with either soil
