egister of historic places in 2001 chamber one edit the entrance is a long horizontal crack 35 feet across and four feet tall at the highest inside the first chamber is about 60 feet deep with slabs of rock fallen from the ceiling to the floor in places 5 among the clearly modern graffiti are some carvings which are almost certainly native american there is a carved diamond with a dot in its center similar to designs at the viola rockshelter bell coulee shelter and other sites in the region a line drawing of a headless bird is carved near the bottom of a boulder on the ceiling inside the entrance a panel of drawings shows a human figure with lines across the body possibly a baby bundled on a cradleboard with a line almost connecting it to a speckled bird 1 if it is a baby the composition of baby connected to bird could represent a naming ceremony 6 on the south wall are more drawings including a deer or elk with a filled in body and with forward curving antlers a sample of its pigment has been ams dated to within 60 years of 690 a d placing the artist in the late woodland period during the time effigy mounds were being built the style of the antlers is not seen elsewhere for this region and period 7 on the west wall is a panel of drawings including what could be depictions of spear tips and groups of abstract arcs and lines that resemble designs found elsewhere on late woodland pottery a bird like figure is high on the panel a headless human perhaps a shaman in the middle and a lizard like creature at the bottom the three might be deliberately arranged to represent an upper middle and lower world 8 based on cultural materials found in the cave it appears that people lived mainly in the first chamber where there was some natural light deer bones were on the surface many of them pulverized and partly charred and shell fragments four pottery sherds were found thin walled and grit tempered the style of one matches examples of millville phase pottery from 250 500 a d two other sherds have a dentate rocker stamped style over a cord marked exterior similar to late millville mills sherds at other sites from 250 to 700 a d a piece of wood charcoal from the floor was carbon 14 dated to 535 a d 9 charred rolls of birch bark are also scattered around the floor mostly along the walls in chambers one and two these were apparently lit as torches providing light at night and for the artists working in the dark parts of the cave 9 chamber two edit at the back of the first chamber in the dark is a low opening into a totally dark chamber 75 feet by 10 to 15 feet wide with the ceiling not quite high enough to stand up small rock is scattered along the walls with a large collapse halfway down the chamber 5 this dark chamber has fewer pictures than the first and some have probably fallen with sections of wall that collapsed but low on one side wall is a panel of arranged creatures divided by a horizontal crack above the crack are three stylized headless birds three sets of rake wings some turkey track bird feet and a small creature that could be a canine below the crack is a grouping of deer and hunters with bows the hunters bodies are filled in with pigment but the squarish deer are not instead three of the deer have small deer drawn inside them probably fetal fawns others have simple objects inside them lines connect many of the hunters bows to the deer 10 the hunting scene probably depicts a group hunt in late winter or early spring and the use of bows and arrows dates the drawing at or after 500 700 a d when bows are believed to enter this area 11 everything recognizable below the crack are earth bound creatures and everything above are bird like except for that one small canine up with the birds 10 nearby on the ceiling is the faint image in black of an animal with four stumpy legs and two long widespread horns the long horns look more like bison occidentalis which went extinct about 5000 years ago than modern bison bison with its short horns if the former the artist for this drawing would be a paleo indian or archaic person 12 a well preserved part of a moccasin was found on the floor of the second chamber a section of a sole reaching from the toe to the back of the arch where it must have been stitched to a heel section based on stitch holes still there stitch holes on the side indicate it was stitched to uppers and part of an upper flap remains with laces on the right side the thick sole appears to be a hide of bison or elk flecks of grass are embedded in the inside probably for insulation a tiny section was ams dated to a d 1440 this moccasin is an unusual find the first known archaeological moccasin in the midwest north of the ozarks 13 chamber three edit at the end of the second chamber the roof rises into a domed room about 50 feet long and 25 feet wide with rubble on the floor at the back of this chamber a narrow crawlspace continues for another 15 feet to where the end is scratched on the wall 5 this dark chamber too has fewer pictures but on the ceiling just before the crawlspace are some images partially obscured by a coat of calcium of note is a drawing in black of a rectangular box containing two triangles the box appears to be pierced by a spike and both the spike and triangles are filled with criss cross lines the style is unlike anything previously found 14 importance edit tainter cave has been known to locals since the 1800s and it contains extensive graffiti left from their visits some prehistoric images have almost certainly been lost to natural roof collapses but many native american drawings remain in excellent condition 15 4 some are in styles similar to art in other places but some are in unique styles never seen before the floor of the cave has not been excavated 16 and probably contains artifacts and refuse that can yield information about the people who inhabited and visited the cave to protect these resources a steel gate was installed in 2000 with slats to let bats in and out but not trespassers 17 tainter cave showed archaeologists that deep sandstone caves could exist in the driftless area and they could contain rock art once that was established another deep sandstone cave with drawings was found 20 miles away larsen cave 18 for comparison see samuels cave a sandstone cave in la crosse county containing drawings by prehistoric native americans but where those drawings have largely been destroyed by initial carvers and natural processes notes edit 1 2 boszhardt 2003 deep p 36 38
