Plan of Dead Man's Cave

Bones recovered from the deposits are of very mixed ages including very recent material. Bones of Ice Age animals include remains of wild horse and reindeer. Radiocarbon dates for the reindeer just after 10,000 years ago show that reindeer herds were still living in this area just after the last Ice Age.
