Why trap it if empty. How deep is the hole? Was this somewhere in AZ?
Sorry for all the questions- I'm always curious. Not sure what you meant by preserving the contents.
At some point in time it was entirely enclosed as a cache or granary. If it contained perishables perhaps the lit torch would help preserve whatever was cached in there. It’s not much of a theory on my part, it’s just the only one I could think ofsince it’s a smallish cave, about 5’ deep, 8’ length. It located in SE Az. In a month or so I am returning to the site with an archaeologist to sample the stucco for dating the age. It’s associated with a long used Apache site.
