Charlie Lake Cave, Archaeological cave site in Peace River Regional District, Canada
The sandstone cave features multiple chambers containing preserved artifacts and remains that document human activities spanning thousands of years in British Columbia.
Archaeological excavations at Charlie Lake Cave, initiated in the 1970s by Knut Fladmark, revealed stone tools and animal bones dating back to early North American settlements.
The Dane-zaa First Nations maintain deep connections to Tse'K'wa, which holds spiritual importance and represents their enduring presence in the Peace River region.
The site, managed by First Nations communities since 2012, provides educational programs focusing on indigenous heritage and archaeological discoveries through guided visits.
The cave's soil layers contain two complete raven skeletons with intentional burial patterns, indicating specific ceremonial practices of ancient indigenous populations.
