found among the bones of mammoths and other long-extinct animals dug up in a New Mexican cave.
In Russell Cave, Alabama, scientists on an expedition sponsored by the National Geographic Society uncovered evidence of a 4,000-year-old killing: the skeleton of a man apparently struck a fatal blow by the spearhead that lay buried near his spine.
Explorers of Mammoth Cave found the victim of a 2,000-yearold accident: the well-preserved mummy of an Indian crushed by a falling rock apparently as he hunted for walls lined with gypsum, prized for making ceremonial war paint.
A Kentucky cave explorer, Floyd Collins, died in probably the most sensationally and widely publicized rescue attempt. He was hunting a cave to attract tourists when he entered San Cave on January 30, 192S.
He violated all rules of safe caving: he told no one where he was going, he went alone, and without extra lantern fuel. Squeezing down a crawlway, Collins was pinned by a falling watermelon-sized rock. He was finally found, but forced to lie there, cold and suffering from exposure, for two weeks while rescuers vainly tried to reach him in time.
