No, they were not cavers, but trespassers, pothunters and looters. More later.

To say nothing of illegal on public lands and, in many states, on private 
lands. And immoral in general. They are stealing the heritage of first 
Americans for their own profits.

Hate to sound callous but pot holing (digging for native American artifacts) is 
popular in Kentucky and Tennessee. Those people really tear things up and leave 
their trash - lots. Lesson learned to late!

Sounds more like a trench collapse than a cave collapse, David.

HOPKINSVILLE, Ky. —  A Tennessee man has died after a cave collapsed in western 
Kentucky while he was digging for Native American artifacts.
Christian County Coroner Dorris Lamb says 42-year-old Devin William Peters, of 
Clarksville, Tenn., was killed in the accident.
Christian County Rescue Team director Randy Graham told the Kentucky New Era 
that Peters and another man were at the cave, located between Pembroke and Oak 
Grove, when the walls of an excavation trench collapsed.
The second man was above ground and telephoned for help at 4 p.m. CST Monday.
Graham said Peters' remains were found eight feet below the floor of the cave, 
buried under about four feet of dirt. Graham said the remains were removed 
about four hours after the collapse.
