Cave Mapping(6 images)
  • Ben Tobin (cq), a graduate student from Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Ky., prepares to work on mapping Crump's Cave, near Smiths Grove, Ky., which is located in the eastern portion of Warren County.  The cave contains glyphs on the clay banks of a passage 1000 m from the entrance that is off limits to the general public.  Bark from a deep incision in one of these figures produced a radiocarbon date of 30 B.C. ± 60 years (Haskins, 1994 personal communication).  This date is especially significant because it is the only charcoal actually retrieved from within a glyph. By photographer Brett Flashnick
