The Strange Tale of Leonard Rockshelter

Situated in Pershing County, Nevada, USA, lies the mysterious Leonard Rockshelter. Named after Zenas Leonard, a man from the Bonneville-Walker expedition in 1833, this archaeological site became a National Historic Landmark in 1961. After 1966, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, causing muted snickers. Navigating the site isn't like a walk in the park due to rocky collapses. What really catches the eye, though, is the site itself with at least three prehistoric occupation periods. Remnants from the oldest period can be dated to 9249 BCE. Archeological discoveries in the 3500 BCE era included an infant burial within a basket. Regrettably, specific artifacts are few and far between in resources.
