  • Northern Thailand, Southeast Asia, and World Prehistory
    Northern Thailand, Southeast Asia, and World Prehistory Received Fehruary 1970 WILHELM G. SOLHEIM II ABSTRACT N this article, I summarize the Thailand finds at Spirit Cave (domesticated plants before 9700 B.C. and polished stone tools and cord-marked pottery at 6800 B.c.); I finds at Non Nok Tha (rice before 3500 B.C., a copper, socketed tool at 3500 B.C., and double-mold, bronze casting by 2300 B.C.); and supporting data from other Southeast Asian locations. Technological development for Southeast Asia from 25,000 to 1 B.C. is summarized, and a developmental framework for Southeast Asian prehistory and the spread ofthese developments follows. Southeast Asian contributions to world culture are cited, and I conclude with a brief discussion of the problems significant to world cultural change suggested by these developments. INTRODUCTION The preliminary reports on Spirit Cave by Chester Gorman and Non Nok Tha by Donn Bayard, immediately preceding this paper, present detailed data in site context for the first time for these two revolutionary sites. In order that this paper be complete in itself, I summarize finds of primary significance from the Gorman and Bayard reports, but remind the reader to refer to their papers for the substance of these sites. Spirit Cave The most astonishing finds from Spirit Cave were the plant remains which indicate that somewhere in this general area domesticated and tended plants were being grown for use as food, and other purposes, from before 11,690 B.P. Almost as surprising as the early dates for these plants are the kinds of plant remains found here together; Piper and Areca are not unexpected, but the Cucumis, Chinese water chestnut (Trapa), and the legumes are a sur­ prise.

    HUMAN EVOLUTION Vol. 28 n.3-4 (137-170) - 2013 Oppenheimer S. Human’s Association with Water Bodies: Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary The ‘Exaggerated Diving Reflex’ and Anthropology, School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography, its Relationship with the Evolutionary University of Oxford, UK. Allometry of Human Pelvic and Brain Sizes E-mail: [email protected] As Darwin suggested, humans first evolved in Africa, then quickly spread out. Occupation sites from the Palaeolithic to the present show a niche preference for proximity to water bod- ies, rivers, lakes and sea coasts. From 165 Kya there is clear evidence for shellfish use, with characteristic shell middens in littoral zones. Genetic phylo-geography for Anatomically Modern Humans (AMH) indicates there was a single definitive exit from near the Horn Africa about 70 Kya, moving, with ex- traordinary rapidity, along coastlines around the Indian Ocean to Bali, later to China and the Americas. They crossed the sea to New Guinea and Australia by 50 KYA. Although AMH were not the first humans to cross Wallace’s Line, they were the first to make open-sea voyages of over 100 miles. Why are anatomi- cally modern humans associated with water bodies? Is it to do with their daily need for fresh drinking water? Is there any spe- cial significance to their exploitation of the food they find there, or is it just making the best of their niche? What aspect of their past evolution explains their ‘exaggerated mammalian diving reflex’? How is it connected with water? The pan-vertebrate reflex cardio-vascular response to extreme hypoxia has long been acknowledged as essential protection in terrestrial vertebrates against the risk of perinatal asphyxia as their milieu changes from aqueous to air.

  • A Guide to Missouri's Cave Life
    A GUIDE TO MISSOURI’S CAVE by William R. Elliott LIFE 70 Cave Species Brought to Light Introduction This guide fills a need for a field identification manual and introduction to the typical cave life of Missouri. It will be useful throughout the Ozark Region and adjacent states, where many of the same species or genera occur. The audience for this guide includes cavers, naturalists, cave guides, teachers and experienced students. You may access this guide on the Biospeleology Web site at http://www. utexas.edu/tmm/sponsored_sites/biospeleology. The Missouri Department of Conservation also publishes other material on caves and karst. About 900 species of animals are known from Missouri caves. In an Ozark cave you will encounter related species that look like some of the 70 images in this guide. Avoid making the subject fit the photo, and read the captions to see if the identification fits. Many small creatures have features that only an expert could identify on a preserved specimen. Please do not handle wildlife unless you are a qualified biologist. Do not remove wildlife from a cave except under a Missouri Wildlife Collector’s Permit, including small invertebrates, even for educational use. The permit is available from the Missouri Department of Conservation. Do not handle wild mammals, as they may harbor communicable diseases. Rabies occurs at low rates in bats, and is more common in skunks, but wild mammals, especially carnivores, should only be handled when necessary by those who have been vaccinated against rabies. Avoid close examination and photography of bats unless it is necessary for a scientific study.

Fieldwork began in October 1965 and ended in July 1966. From October 1965 until May 1966 I conducted archaeological surveys in selected areas of northern Thailand; June through July 1966 were spent ex­ cavating Spirit Cave.
