Abstract
The soil series of particular interest were the Chester, Glenelg, and Elioak series of Typic Hapludults. Results indicate that Elioak soil is a relict paleosol. A stone line separating strongly weathered Elioak soil material from silty overburden was revealed in several excavations. Particle-size analyses and elemental analyses of silt fractions confirmed these discontinuities. Comparisons indicate that the silty overburden on the Piedmont is loess which was deposited after 10 520 years BP. Where the relict paleosol has been eroded away, as on steeper slopes, Glenelg soils are mapped. -from Authors
