Lake Hole Cave in Johnson County, Tennessee - Ancient Burial Site

[BurntBear]

Anyone had the pleasure of exploring this cave system before it was closed off by officials? The artifacts collected are from the Late Woodland to
Early Mississippian period (ca. A.D. 800-1200). Very interesting cave and even more interesting story of grave desecration!

Hmmm,seems to me it was only called desecration before the archs got a hold of it and did the same thing as the original desecrators did,the ironya friend of mines uncle is an arch and his house is loaded with stuff,dont tell me it isnt thievery with a license because it is.I'll tell you B.S.

I have explored over 20 caves throughout the T.A.G. region.....

found everything from bat bones to saltpeter vats from the civil war, to the occasional Weed Bunker !!!

what a great time the caving was, but I was very young at the time and we were not supposed to touch anything of artifacts or take anything from the cave, as it was somewhat of a resting place and these things were meant to be found by the people that left them when they returned......

in the next life.....

thats why the natives dont like their sites disturbed, because they feel those are the possessions of their ancestors, who are wandering the spirit world until they find they return, to claim their goods, and live again.
