ABSTRACT We present the first record of Holocene and Pleistocene environmental change derived from chemical stable-isotope composition a tropical cave guano sequence Makangit Cave in northern Palawan (Philippines). The 180 cm guano, predominantly insectivorous bats birds, consists two distinct units. An upper section reddish-brown oxidised to 110 was deposited since mid-Holocene while lower black, reduced through Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) >30 000 BP. Carbon-isotope (δ 13 C) values during...
The paper describes the initial results from renewed investigations at Niah Cave in Sarawak on island of Borneo, famous for discovery 1958 c. 40,000–year old ‘Deep Skull’. archaeological sequences West Mouth and other entrances cave complex investigated by Tom Barbara Harrisson researchers have potential implications three major debates regarding prehistory south-east Asia: timing settlement anatomically modern humans; means which they subsisted late Pleistocene early Holocene; timing,...
Excavations at a cave site on the island of Palawan in Philippines show occupation from c. 11000 BP. A fine assemblage tools and faunal remains shows reliance hunter-foragers switching deer to pig. In 9500-9000 BP, human cremation burial container was emplaced, earliest yet known region.
Recent years have witnessed an increased interest within archaeology in the non‐visual senses, and particularly sound. To date, however, most studies focused on evidence for musical instruments acoustic properties of special structures spaces, like monuments caves. This study reports further activities at prehistoric site Sanganakallu‐Kupgal south India, but then also moves to a discussion dimension more mundane Neolithic technological productive activities, flint‐knapping, axe‐grinding,...
Palaeogeographic reconstructions of Palawan Island using Geographic Information Systems based on present-day bathymetry show extensive changes in land area with respect to sea-level fluctuations during the Late Quaternary. Our analysis shows that a lowering at least 135 meters from levels is needed order expose narrow connection between and Sundaland. This most likely last occurred OIS 12 (ca. 440 Ka) probably 16 630 Ka), facilitating overland colonization two islands. The further illustrate...
Abstract Preliminary soil micromorphology study of cultural sediments at Tabon Cave, Philippines, supports interpretations sporadic occupation in the Paleolithic. The presence some deposits authigenic minerals potentially related to altered materials, such as ash, needs further investigation. Later sequence there is a marked change local depositional processes, with onset significant quartz sand deposition layers dating from Middle Late Holocene. This could relate beach development area....
Abstract Fragments of a single human skeleton recovered from discrete archaeological context and dating to the Early Holocene Ille Site, Palawan, Philippines, provided unique opportunity utilise anthropogenic bone modifications reconstruct postmortem history body prior its deposition. Aside being burnt, remains were found exhibit combination cutmarks, scrape marks, impact scars indicative disarticulation, defleshing, hammerstone percussion. The results clearly demonstrate complex ritualistic...
Soil micromorphology was among the approaches used to explore site formation in two cave sites northern Luzon: Eme and Dalan Serkot Caves. Interplay of biogenic, sedimentary, anthropogenic processes worked reworked archaeological sediments at both sites. Cave found be highly bioturbated by faunal activities shrink-swell processes, caution is needed interpreting its contexts. However, thin section study revealed wood ash possible burnt soil fragments, along with charcoal, attesting later...
Summary. Lake Luokesas in Lithuania has become the centre of attention northern European wetland archaeological research after discovery two Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pile dwellings. Their unique location, chronology and building techniques have potential to revolutionise our understanding important aspects communities later prehistoric Europe.
AbstractA pilot study of targeted soil micromorphology samples from Lake Luokesas in Lithuania suggests that at least one the lake's prehistoric pile dwelling settlements was initially constructed over open water lake marl, indicating a raised structure. Following this, sequence peat layers found between, within and later cultural deposits localised drying out, lowering levels, and/or raising local lakebed through sand accumulation. It is suggested these events may have been an important...

This dearth of workers and widespread adoption primary care approach (PHCA), requires that professionals be trained to understand effectively utilize skills offered by other disciplines field. Nurses are expected play active roles promotion including oral health, particularly rural under‐served communities. There a paucity education nursing curricula. article describes 4‐day module on...
