Danger Cave

Danger Cave is a North American Archaeological site located in the state of Utah, that features artifacts of the Desert Culture from ca. 9500 BCE until ca. 500 CE.

Danger cave was excavated in the 1950's under the supervision of Jesse D. Jennings, professor at the University of Utah. Jennings' work at the site was considered ground-breaking due to his exacting standards in excavation and data analysis. Relating the archaeological evidence from Danger Cave to an ethnographic model, Jennings framed a view of the little known Great Basin Desert culture which was unknown at the time.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1961.
