Cueva Fell, Archaeological cave in Magallanes Region, Chile.
The sandstone rock shelter extends 8.5 meters deep and 12 meters wide, featuring a natural canopy formed by lava conglomerate along the Río Chico canyon.
Junius Bird began excavations in 1936, uncovering five distinct layers of human occupation spanning from 11,000 years ago to recent periods.
The cave contains numerous stone tools, knives, scrapers, and bolas that demonstrate the hunting methods of early South American inhabitants.
Visitors need permits and guidance from local authorities to access the site, which requires specialized transportation due to its remote location.
Layer V of the cave holds evidence of human interaction with extinct megafauna, including giant sloths and horses from the Late Pleistocene period.
