“…The use of a projectile technology provides the most parsimonious explanation for the increased concentrations of arboreal and semi-arboreal taxa represented in the region's archaeological record. The appearance of similar bone technologies across central and eastern Java and into Wallacea and parts of Australasia in the Terminal Pleistocene and Early Holocene suggests that these technological innovations in osseus tool production spread rapidly across Southeast Asia, probably filling a range of technological niches (Morwood et al, 2008;Pasveer and Bellwood, 2004;Pasveer, 2004Pasveer, , 2005.…”

“…It is also noteworthy that such implements coincide with an increase in the diversity of prey being hunted. The abrupt rise in arboreal game and particular primates (Morwood et al, 2008;Piper et al, 2008;Semah et al, 2004) also points toward the development of hafting technologies in rainforest environments during the early Holocene.…”

“…Over geological timescales, an understanding of the rate of landscape evolution in regions such as Asia, that are central to the path of human dispersal, is essential for providing a context for the landscapes encountered during hominid migration, and greatly assists in the interpretation of the archaeological record (e.g. Ciochon et al , 1996; Bettis et al , 2004; Morwood et al , 2008; Westaway et al , 2009a, b). However, relatively little is known about the palaeo‐landscapes of Asia and the environmental factors that aided or impeded dispersal or occupation (Dennell, 2004).…”

Tropical landscapes evolve at a rapid rate, creating stepped alluvial terraces, dense basin and cone topographies and multilevel cave systems. An understanding of the rate of landscape evolution is crucial for understanding how landscapes respond to tectonic instability and for reconstructing landscapes that have changed over archaeological timescales. The rate of landscape incision as a proxy for karst landscape evolution in Indonesia, a key region in the path of human dispersal, has been established using the rate of karstification -by estimating a chronology for stages of cave development using thermal ionisation mass spectrometry U-series dating on flowstones, and the rate of downcutting -by establishing a chronology for a series of alluvial terraces using red thermoluminescence dating. Using these techniques we have determined that the estimated rate of karstification (113 AE 26 mm ka À1 ) is slower than the average rate of downcutting (305 AE 24 mm ka À1 ), and the combined rate of landscape incision (217 AE 18 mm ka À1 ) is slower than the known rate of tectonic uplift for this region derived from raised coral terraces (450 AE 50 mm ka À1 ). This suggests that rivers are quicker to respond to tectonic instability, but both cave and river systems display a slower rate of incision and karstification than uplift. Correlations between these components of the landscape system reveal a strong, interacting relationship where defined phases of uplift are reflected in the pattern of karstification and cycles of downcutting. An understanding of this relationship has been pivotal in reconstructing the formation and geomorphic history of archaeological caves such as Liang Bua.

Abstract. The number of disasters due to natural hazards and climate change are on the rise. Within the last decade the world has experienced the most frequent and impactful disasters. The year 2015 was the hottest year ever and the associated disaster impacts have drastically increased the cost to the society socially and economically. The Asia Pacific region has 10 been the place where these disasters occur the most. Indonesia, one of the countries in this region, is one of the most at risks from disasters and climate change impacts in this region.This paper aims to do a systematic literature review on published academic materials related to hazards, risks, disaster risks reduction (DRR) and climate change in Indonesia. Systematic literature review is defined as systematic or evidence-based literature reviews with explicit and transparent methods and follows a standard protocol or a series of stages so that bias can 15 be reduced and more importantly able to provide a comprehensive body of knowledge. While there is a vast material that have been published related to hazards and DRR on Indonesia, there has not yet a literature review that examines these materials in a comprehensive and systematic way. This systematic review is important since it outlines recent research progress over time which can help to determine which topics have been heavily researched and thus seeks to recommend future research needs. The author conducts a multi-staged literature review to study publications that are indexed within 20 SCOPUS. Multi-stage processes are taken to determine inclusion and exclusion for more relevant findings. The author also consults authors' and organizations profiles from Google Scholar, Research Gate, to determine gender, affiliations, and extent of publications.The first stage of search from Scopus gives a list of 5253 publications by which after second stage gives 1478 publications and third stage gives a final most relevant publication of 744. The findings are outlined in two parts. One on the results of the 25 analysis in terms of times of publications, most active researchers and research organizations, most cited papers, and categorization of major research topics. The other one is on the examinations on the roles of Indonesian authors and organizations in publishing in international journals, involvement in highly cited papers, and how collaborations have taken place amongst Indonesian and international researchers and organizations. This thus led to recommendations for capacity building in research in Indonesia. 30The findings on the first part are as follow. The final selected publications are categorized into three major topics of (1) hazard, risks and disaster assessments (HRD), (2) disaster risk reduction (DRR), and (3) climate change vulnerability, impacts and adaptation (CC). Publications on the category of HRD are comprised of more than half of the total publications, while the rest is divided amongst those related to DRR and CC. The oldest publication was issued in 1978 and the earlier perio...
