 For
thousands of years bands of prehistoric Indians came to the area we know
today as Russell Cave. The cave provided a shelter. The surrounding forest
provided food, tools, and fuel for their fires.
Occupation of the cave shelter continued from the earliest known people
to inhabit the southeastern United States, until the time of European
explorers. The story of the inhabitants of Russell Cave is one of adaptation
and survival.
These people left
behind clues to their way of life. These clues help us have a better understanding
of the people who have been forgotten through the mists of time.
