Nature Quest Past Photos - Henry's Bluff / Kincaid Shelter

Kincaid Rock Shelter artifacts date back to 13,000 years ago
    Some 12,000 years ago, a Clovis group found a promising place to settle: a rock overhang that shielded a huge cave-like interior, complete with a freshwater springs inside the shelter and flowing stream nearby. They stayed a long while in this protected place, chipping chert rock into tools and feasting intermittently on mammoth, turtle, alligator, camel, bison and raccoon.
