Today we ventured into the cave and cleared our dig squares for excavation. The cave was a little stinky due to a squirrel finding his way into the cave, but not a way back out.
We also found another fellow that had made his way into the cave. Unfortunately, we could not reach him to get him out... we will see if he is closer tomorrow.

Mammoth Site scientists, partners, and volunteers are on a mission to understand climate change in the Black Hills during the latest Ice Age. To accomplish this, we are working together to rappel into and excavate a remote cave in the Black Hills of SD. Rapid deposition of sediments in this cave covered the remains of many different animals. These exciting new discoveries have provided us with snapshots of what the climate and environment was like thousands of years ago.
