Russell Cave National Monument :-
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 to have a better understanding
of the people who have gone through the mists of time.
