Today was chilly and rainy... but perfect weather in the cave! We began focusing on taking down one excavation square so we can dig back further in time.
Bob, one of our volunteers, uncovered a partially articulated skeleton! I have an idea of what I think it is! Do you have a guess?
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.
