Danger Cave

description Danger Cave Overview

Danger Cave is a major archaeological rock shelter located near Wendover in western Utah, USA. Excavated primarily in the late 1940s and 1950s by Jesse D. Jennings, the site revealed stratified layers representing over 10,000 years of continuous human occupation in the Great Basin. The artifacts recovered, including woven baskets, stone tools, and animal bones, provided the foundational evidence for the Desert Archaic culture, a mobile hunter-gatherer lifestyle adapted to arid environments.

The site's dry environment preserved highly perishable organic materials that typically decay in other contexts.
