Rock Shelter in Val Verde County, Texas.The rock shelter is south facing and roughly 40m wide by 25m deep, and lies about a mile from the Pecos River. Occupied from 7200 BC to 180 AD, the dry site is noteworthy for the many preserved organic artifacts including discarded stone and bone tools, cord sandals, grass bedding, basket fragments, food refuse and coprolites.
At various times the people living here floored the shelter with layers of leaves or cactus pads (spines removed.)
Excavations in the 1970's have resulted in research ever since. Fragments of plant and animal remnants in the fossilized feces have been used to deduce the health and lifestyle of the ancient inhabitants.
The site is on private property and it not accessible by the general public. The University of Texas maintains a Hinds Cave listing at their Texas Beyond History website.
Note: Researcher finds oldest known domesticated dog in Americas - it's what's for dinner.
