Levi Rock Shelter, Archaeological site near Austin, Texas.

The natural rock formation provides an overhang shelter along Lick Creek, containing multiple layers of prehistoric human occupation remains and artifacts.

Archaeological excavations in the 1950s uncovered numerous Paleo-Indian artifacts, including stone tools, carved bone cylinders, and painted pebbles dating back 10,000 years.

The shelter contains evidence of Native American activities through different periods, revealing information about their daily life, hunting practices, and tool manufacturing methods.

Researchers must obtain permits from the Texas Historical Commission and coordinate with the University of Texas to study the archaeological materials from this location.

This location ranks as the seventh oldest documented paleolithic site in the United States, with artifacts now preserved at the University of Texas.
