Hogup Cave, Archaeological cave in Box Elder County, United States.
The two-chambered limestone cavern sits on the southwestern side of Hogup Mountain, extending deep into the Great Salt Lake Desert terrain.
Archaeological excavations in 1967 and 1968 revealed 16 major stratigraphic layers containing artifacts from human occupation dating back to 6400 BC.
The cave contained numerous stone tools, pottery fragments, and animal hide objects, indicating different settlement patterns between Fremont and Numic speaking groups.
The protected National Historic site requires special permits and guided access for research purposes, with Park Valley serving as the nearest settlement.
The cave preserved thousands of textile pieces, milling stones, and cooking pits that demonstrate resource utilization spanning over 8,000 years.
