The well-protected walls and floors of deep caves are some of the few places where human markings on soft materials - sands, muds, clays - survive archaeologically. Since 1979, a special group of caves in the eastern United States has been reported with 'mud-glyphs' or prehistoric drawings etched in wet mud. Here, the seventh of these mud-glyph caves is described; once again, its iconography connects it to the 'Southern Cult' or 'Southeast Ceremonial Complex' of the Mississippian period
