A remarkable archaeological find in the rugged terrain of West Texas is transforming our understanding of the region’s prehistoric inhabitants.
Deep within the San Esteban Rockshelter cave system, researchers have uncovered a well-preserved hunting kit, believed to be approximately 6,500 years old. This discovery is being hailed as one of the oldest intact weapon systems ever found in North America.
The excavation was conducted by a team from the Center for Big Bend Studies (CBBS) in collaboration with the Odyssey Archaeological Research Fund at the University of Kansas.
