Petroglyph Cave, Ka'u district, Island of Hawai'i

• This rock carving, or petroglyph, was pecked into the wall of a lava tube cave located in a desert area of the Big Island of Hawai'i. Formed originally from an ancient lava flow, the cave was a haven for prehistoric Hawaiians who may have lived here seasonally or visited it, collecting water dripping from the ceiling into gourds placed below. Radiocarbon dating suggests occupation for a least two hundred years prior to the nineteenth century. This cave was inspiration for the ones featured in Corson's novel, Aloha, Mr. Lucky.
