The LaGrange Rock Shelter is an archaeological site located on private property between Leighton and Muscle Shoals in Colbert County, Alabama, near the original campus of LaGrange College. The shelter measures 70 feet long by 15 feet deep (21m by 4.5m) and is located beneath a sandstone outcrop overlooking a dense series of Paleoindian sites in the valley below, which may have led to it being chosen for excavation. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

  • El Refugio de LaGrange es un sitio arqueológico ubicado en una propiedad privada entre Leighton y Muscle Shoals en el Condado de Colbert, Alabama cerca del campus original de LaGrange College. El refugio mide 70 pies de largo por 15 pies de profundidad (21 m por 4,5 m) y está ubicado debajo de un afloramiento de arenisca con vista a una densa serie de sitios paleoamericanos en el valle abajo, lo que puede haber llevado a que se eligiera para la excavación.​ Las excavaciones del sitio ocurrieron durante dos temporadas, comenzando en 1972 con Charles Hubbert como investigador principal y terminando en 1975 con Vernon J. Knight Jr como investigador principal, con ambas temporadas bajo la dirección de David L. DeJarnette de la Universidad de Alabama. Los niveles más bajos del refugio produjeron muestras de carbón que fueron datadas por radiocarbono en aproximadamente 11.280 a. C., lo que coloca las estimaciones de la habitación del sitio dentro de lo que se cree que fue el Período Paleamericano. En el momento del descubrimiento, solo otro sitio al este del río Misisipi tenía fecha de esa edad.​ El carbón consistía en pequeñas motas asociadas con restos ligeros debajo de una zona definitiva del Arcaico Temprano al Paleoamericano Tardío (cultura Dalton).​ Después de una cuidadosa consideración, DeJarnette y Knight sugirieron que el carbón se originó en un nivel superior y migró al nivel inferior debido a la rotura del piso del refugio original.​ Aunque se puede cuestionar la fecha paleoamericana, el sitio también contenía un entierro arcaico temprano notable, uno de los entierros más antiguos descubiertos en el estado de Alabama.​ El sitio fue incluido en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Históricos en 1974.​ (es)
  • The LaGrange Rock Shelter is an archaeological site located on private property between Leighton and Muscle Shoals in Colbert County, Alabama, near the original campus of LaGrange College. The shelter measures 70 feet long by 15 feet deep (21m by 4.5m) and is located beneath a sandstone outcrop overlooking a dense series of Paleoindian sites in the valley below, which may have led to it being chosen for excavation. Excavations of the site occurred over two seasons, beginning in 1972 with Charles Hubbert as principal investigator and ending in 1975 with Vernon J. Knight Jr as principal investigator, with both seasons under the direction of David L. DeJarnette of the University of Alabama. Lower levels of the shelter produced charcoal samples that were radiocarbon dated to approximately 11,280 BC, placing estimates of the site's habitation within what is believed to be the Paleoindian Period. At the time of the discovery, only one other site east of the Mississippi River had been dated to that age. The charcoal consisted of small flecks associated with light debitage below a definitive Early Archaic to Late Paleoindian (Dalton culture) zone. After careful consideration, DeJarnette and Knight suggested that the charcoal originated from an upper level and migrated to the lower level due to breakdown of the original shelter floor. Although the Paleoindian date may be questioned, the site also contained a remarkable Early Archaic burial, one of the oldest burials uncovered in the State of Alabama. The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. (en)
