I was just reading “Archaeology” magazine, and I noticed that “rock shelters” is the term-of-art these days, instead of “caves.”

Also, they say “horse riders” instead of “horsemen.”

Rock shelters can be just a slight overhang, but the description subsumes caves, which a slight overhang isn’t. :^)
