June 6, 2004 BELLE AIR CAVE Position: Reserved due to archaeological resources Field notes: MARK BELLINGER Cavers: R. S. Stewart, I. C. Conolley, M. Bellinger, D. K. Roggy, R. Stirling Time in: 12:00 EST, Time out: 14:30 EST THREAT VULNERABILITY: High Bellaire Cave shares its location with a retirement home. We never saw the old people, but two sows and their piglets were seen wandering around. The cave was small - less than 30 feet deep. Their was nothing remarkable cave-wise, but a skull had been found in the cave recently; and a pot made by the Tainos a few years back. We took a fair amount of time dissecting this cave. It was measured, drawn and examined. A number of artifacts were found. I guess time will tell if they are really artifacts. One thing is true, the difference between an artifact and a rock is pretty small when looking at them in the dirt. MISS LILLY'S - COXHEATH (June 6, 2004 - 17:30-20:00 EST) Vertical gear, a rope, a tree and beer found the team working on crossing over knots. Ivor and I struggled with the cross-over and made ourselves weary and sore. Stef was well into a third or fourth beer and completed the exercise with barely a sweat. |
