Connley Caves is a protected archaeology site on BLM-managed land that consists of a series of small rockshelters carved from a bluff thousands of years ago by the waves of Pleistocene Lake Fort Rock.

 

For more than 50 years, archaeologists and field schools from the University of Oregon have studied the site, focusing on the long term pattern of human activity and settlement in relation to environmental change and variation.
