cave floor
Subterranean walking surface
The cave floor is the bottom surface of a cave, where sediment, rock formations, and debris accumulate.
Stalagmites grow upward from cave floors, while bat guano and mineral deposits often cover them.
In archaeology, cave floors preserve evidence of ancient human habitation in stratified layers.
