Rockhouse Cliffs Rockshelters
Rockhouse Cliffs Rockshelters, Rock shelter in Union Township, Indiana, United States.
The Rockhouse Cliffs Rockshelters consist of two natural cave-like formations at the base of limestone cliffs in southern Indiana's forested terrain.
Archaeological excavations from the 1930s revealed continuous human occupation spanning over ten thousand years, from the Early Archaic period through the twentieth century.
The shelters contain numerous artifacts including Elk River Stemmed points, which indicate extensive trade networks among prehistoric cultures throughout the region.
Located near a spring in Rockhouse Hollow, northwest of Derby, these formations remain protected within the boundaries of Hoosier National Forest.
These formations represent two of only three rockshelter sites in Indiana that have received recognition on the National Register of Historic Places.
