Hidden Cave
Hidden Cave is an archaeological cave site located in the Great Basin near Fallon, Nevada, United States. It got its name from Mark Harrington, who first excavated the cave and had a hard time finding the entrance, who said at the time, "This is one hidden cave!" 〔Thomas, David H. "Three Generations of Archaeology at Hidden Cave, Nevada." Archaeology Oct. 1984. Web.〕 It was excavated originally in the 1930s by Harrington and then excavated twice more before being returned to for the final time in 1978 by David Hurst Thomas for a more in depth excavation.〔Orndorff, Richard L., Robert W. Wieder, and Harry F. Filkorn. "Chapter 10." Geology Underfoot in Central Nevada. Missoula, MT: Mountain Pub., 2001. Print〕 The site dates back to the early Desert Archaic Culture from c. 4000 to 2000 years ago.〔 Thousands of Archaic artifacts have been found here, and the site "provides important, if unusual clues about Desert Archaic lifeways".〔 Hidden Cave was not lived in, but used as storage site for goods and tools for the 2000 years of its survival.
== History ==
Hidden Cave is located at a hilltop some from Fallon and east of Lahontan Valley. It was centered in the Toedokado Territory. The occupants resided near still water marshes where the pinon nut can be easily harvested.〔Thomas, David H. "The Archaeology of Hidden Cave, Nevada." Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History 61 (1985): chap 2. Web.〕 The cave was gouged out and created around 21,000 years ago by waves of Lake Lahontan.〔"(Hidden Cave, Nevada )." Divisions of Anthropology. American Museum of Natural History, 2012.〕 It was flooded until about 4,000 years ago, when the Desert Archaic people used it for year-round storage.〔 Some say because of its location, it was a good spot for hiding valuables as well.〔 The site was occupied during the Neoglacial period, which resulted in more rainfall in the river valleys.〔Fagan, Brian M. Ancient North America: The Archaeology of a Continent. 4th ed. New York: Thames & Hudson, 2005. 273, 282-283. Print.〕 The main plant food used by the prehistoric occupants was the pinon nut.〔
