Dust Cave
Dust Cave is a Paleoindian archaeology site located in northern Alabama.〔"Alabama Heritage Summer 2002, Issue 65." Alabama Heritage Magazine. .〕 It is in the Highland Rim in the limestone bluffs that overlook Coffee Slough, a tributary of the Tennessee River.〔Carmody, Stephen Byrnes, "Hunter/Gatherer Foraging Adaptations During the Middle Archaic Period at Dust Cave, Alabama." Master's Thesis, University of Tennessee, 2009. http://trace.tennessee.edu/utk_gradthes/515〕 The site was occupied during the Pleistocene and early Holocene eras.〔"Alabama Heritage Summer 2002, Issue 65." Alabama Heritage Magazine. .〕 1LU496, another name for Dust Cave, was occupied seasonally for 7,000 years. The cave was first discovered in 1984 by Dr. Richard Cobb and first excavated in 1989 under Dr. Boyce Driskell from the University of Alabama.〔
Other major Paleoindian sites in northern Alabama include Stanfield-Worley, Mulberry Creek, and the Quad site.〔
==Site description==
The cave became habitable at 10,600 B.P. due to the water tables dropping and flushing river sediment that once filled and buried the cave between 17,000 to 15,000 B.P.〔 The site represents five cultural components. These are Quad/Beaver Lake/Dalton (10,650-9200 cal B.C.), Early Side-Notched (10,000-9000 cal B.C.), Kirk Stemmed (8200-5800 cal B.C.), Eva/Morrow Mountain (6400-4000 cal B.C.), and Benton (4500-3600 cal B.C.).〔Sherwood, Sarah C., Boyce N. Driskell, Asa R. Randall, and Scott C. Meeks. "Chronology and Stratigraphy at Dust Cave, Alabama." .〕 The stratigraphic profile of the cave is made up of zones labeled A through Y. A is considered the youngest and Y, determined to have been from the Pleistocene, the oldest.〔
