Baker Cave, a limestone rock shelter in the Lower Pecos Canyons of southwest Texas near the Devils River, preserves a long and largely undisturbed record of human occupation because it lies high above flood level. Evidence reaches back to about 7,000–7,800 BCE, including a Golondrina point and a hearth about 9,000 years old associated with archaic foragers who relied on small animals and wild plant foods. Excavations beginning in 1962 documented cooking, living, and food-processing areas, along with bones, seeds, nuts, fiber artifacts, flint debris, pits, and an infant burial, making the site important for understanding long-term occupation and foodways in the Lower Pecos.
