Despite this importance, the mechanisms by which vertebrate remains accumulate and preserve in Southeast Asian caves has never been systematically reviewed or examined. Here, we present the results of three years of cave surveys in Indonesia and Timor-Leste, describing cave systems and their attendant vertebrate accumulations in diverse geological, biogeographical, and environmental settings. While each cave system is unique, we find that the accumulation and preservation of vertebrate remains are highly dependent on local geology and environment. These factors notwithstanding, we find the dominant factor responsible for faunal deposition is the presence or absence of biological accumulating agents, a factor directly dictated by biogeographical history. In small, isolated, volcanic islands, the only significant accumulation occurs in archaeological settings, thereby limiting our understanding of the palaeontology of those islands prior to human arrival. In karstic landscapes on both oceanic and continental islands, our understanding of the long- term preservation of vertebrates is still in its infancy. The formation processes of vertebrate- bearing breccias, their taphonomic histories, and the criteria used to determine whether these represent syngenetic or multiple deposits remain critically understudied. The latter in particular has important implications for arguments on how breccia deposits from the region should be analysed and interpreted when reconstructing palaeoenvironments.

Abundant Taxonomy fossils, consisting of mostly isolated teeth from small-to large-sized animals, were recovered from breccias Taphonomy cemented on the cave walls and unconsolidated sediments on the cave floor.Two loci on the walls and floorsof Cave Ngalau Gupin, named NG-A and NG-B respectively, are studied. We determine that NG-B most likely formed as a Pleistocene result of the erosion and redeposition of material from NG-A.

Here we describe the carnivores, with the exception of the cave bear, and herbivores found in the cave. Special focus lies on the mustelids, not evaluated previously, and the comparison of leopard, hyena and chamois. The composition of the mustelids in the isolated chamber Ia confirms its chronological assignment into the Late Glacial, while most of the larger mammals, such as Crocuta, Panthera and Rupicapra, fit into the time before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Zusammenfassung Die Grabungen in der Loutra Almopias Höhle ergaben eine große Anzahl an unterschiedlichen Ver- tebraten, die zwei verschiedenen Zeithorizonten zugeordnet werden. Wir beschreiben hier die Car- nivora, mit Ausnahme des Höhlenbären, und die Herbivoren aus der Höhle. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf den bis jetzt unbearbeiteten Musteliden, sowie auf dem morphologischen Vergleich der Hyäne, des Leoparden und der Gämse. Die Zusammensetzung der Musteliden aus der isolierten Kammer Ia bestätigt die zeitliche Einstufung in das Spätglazial, während die meisten Großsäuger, wie Crocuta, Panthera und Rupicapra, in die Zeit vor dem letzten Vereisungshöhepunkt im Glazcial (LGM) zu stellen sind.

  • Fossil Cave / Green Waterhole Cave (5L81) Bone Retrieval Dives for Dr Trevor Worthy (University of Adelaide), 27/28 May 2006
    FOSSIL CAVE / GREEN WATERHOLE CAVE (5L81) BONE RETRIEVAL DIVES FOR DR TREVOR WORTHY (UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE), 27/28 MAY 2006. PARTY Peter Horne (Team Coordinator), Neville Skinner (underwater photographer/ support & safety Diver), David Albano (support/safety diver) and Mark Nielsen (safety diver); Ian Lewis (surface support). OBJECTIVES To attempt to relocate 1979 Flinders University survey star-dropper posts along the “N” line, especially N3 dropper, and an adjacent labelled tag known as “Aslin Site 12” (“Site 07” during the 1979 project); to attempt to photograph the area before, during and after any bone-digging work; and to collect samples of bones and sediment around Tag 12. Carrying gear down to the cave’s lake which is situated in the dark alcove behind the two scuba cylinders at the far end of the collapse (Peter Horne). The research party (left to right): Neville Skinner, Ian Lewis (surface support), Mark Nielsen, David Albano and the author (Dave Albano/Peter Horne). OUTCOMES Dive One: Saturday 27 May 2006 (duration approx. 45 minutes). Peter and Neville descended first through the “Letterbox” with a large open reel of thick white synthetic rope with the intention of locating and securing the old N3 star-dropper. The water was noticeably dark and murky, suggesting that crushed grass observed around the carpark area was most likely caused by a group of other divers earlier that morning, which was unfortunate from the point of view of photography. The water level was also lower that Peter had ever seen, and there was a substantial air section extending into the normally-flooded ceiling area of the cave.

Abstract The evolution of anatomical and behavioural modernity in Homo sapiens has been one of the key focus areas in both archaeology and palaeoanthropology since their inception. Traditionally, interpretations have drawn mainly on evidence from the many large and well-known sites in Europe, but archaeological research in Africa and the Levant is increasingly altering and elaborating upon our understanding of later human evolution. Despite the presence of a number of important early modern human and other hominin sites in Southeast Asia, evidence from this region has not contributed to the global picture in any significant way.

This is one of many related papers that were included in the 2006 NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebook. Annual NMGS Fall Field Conference Guidebooks Every fall since 1950, the New Mexico Geological Society (NMGS) has held an annual Fall Field Conference that explores some region of New Mexico (or surrounding states). Always well attended, these conferences provide a guidebook to participants. Besides detailed road logs, the guidebooks contain many well written, edited, and peer-reviewed geoscience papers. These books have set the national standard for geologic guidebooks and are an essential geologic reference for anyone working in or around New Mexico. Free Downloads NMGS has decided to make peer-reviewed papers from our Fall Field Conference guidebooks available for free download. Non-members will have access to guidebook papers two years after publication. Members have access to all papers. This is in keeping with our mission of promoting interest, research, and cooperation regarding geology in New Mexico. However, guidebook sales represent a significant proportion of our operating budget. Therefore, only research papers are available for download. Road logs, mini-papers, maps, stratigraphic charts, and other selected content are available only in the printed guidebooks.
