The description term drop soil of the Eisden type is introduced for one type of drop soil with well defined characteristics. This type of drop soil is considered to originate by periglacial loadcasting, i.e. by loadcasting in a periglacial environment with active permafrost. The drop soil of the Eisden type allows to draw some conclusions about the permafrost and the maximum thaw depth at the time of formation. For NE-Belgium it means the existence of a continuous permafrost and a maximum thaw depth of about 2 m during the Vistulian and probably during the Late-Vistulian.
