Forest for rock shelter protection efforts In 2000, the Forest Service closed all rock shelters in the Red
WINCHESTER – On Thursday, September 22, Preservation
Kentucky recognized the Daniel Boone National Forest for
achievements in protecting cliff rock shelters in the Red River
Gorge.
State and federal archaeologists joined other resource management
officials for a brief ceremony. Forest Supervisor Frank
Beum accepted the award on behalf of the U.S. Forest Service.
“Preservation Kentucky is proud to recognize the U.S. Forest
Service’s great efforts to preserve these important prehistoric and
historic places on national forest lands,” said PK Executive Director
Rachel Kennedy.
“Because of their leadership in this effort, we presented a
Best Practices Award to the U.S. Forest Service. We hope that others
can follow their lead and protect these invaluable resources
for future generations.”
In the Red River Gorge, archaeological evidence indicates
human inhabitance of rock shelters beginning at least 12,000
years ago. The artifacts found at these sites represent the daily
lives of Native Americans who once lived in Kentucky. Rock shelters
also include the remains of many historic period industries,
such as saltpeter mining and moonshining.
The examination of rock shelters in the gorge indicate that
Native Americans began domesticating plants as food crops
more than 3,700 years ago. Scientists often rely on the archaeological
resources of the Red River Gorge to address the origins of
agriculture in eastern North America.

“As a land management agency, we are honored by Preservation
Kentucky’s recognition of our efforts to protect rock shelters,”
said Beum. “It is a team effort that involves many of our forest
specialists, including archaeologists, law enforcement officers
and backcountry rangers.”

River Gorge to camping. In 2011, all rock shelters occurring in
the Daniel Boone National Forest were closed to camping in an
effort to preserve these fragile sites.
At the Gladie Cultural-Environmental Learning Center in
the gorge, the Forest Service interprets the significance of rock
shelters for visitors. The center is host to the annual Living Archaeology
Weekend, which took place over the weekend.
Thursday’s award ceremony was attended by representatives
from the University of Kentucky, the Kentucky Heritage
Council/Kentucky State Historic Preservation Office, Frenchburg
Job Corps, Forest Service and Preservation Kentucky.
