“…As such, the exact dating and burial type of the Tham Lod burial 1 is uncertain. Furthermore, a recent direct date obtained from SK5, dating the burial to 3.1-3.5kya cal BP, rejects its previously suggested antiquity [52,53,79].…”

Burial elaborations are a human behaviour that, in recent contexts can inform on social diversification, belief systems, and the introduction of new practices resulting from migration or cultural transmission. The study of mortuary practices in Mainland and Island Southeast Asia has revealed complex and diverse treatments of the deceased. This paper contributes to this topic with the description of three new burials excavated in Tron Bon Lei (Alor Island, Indonesia) dated to 7.5, 10, and 12 kya cal BP. In addition to the bioskeletal profiles and palaeohealth observations, we propose the adoption of archaeothanatological methods to characterise burial types in the region. Through the analysis of skeletal element representation, body position, articulation, and grave associations, we provide an example of a holistic approach to mortuary treatments in the Lesser Sunda Islands. Our results provide significant new data for understanding the evolution and diversification of burial practices in Southeast Asia, contributing to a growing body of literature describing prehistoric socio-cultural behaviour in this region.

“…Penemuan jejak-jejak Ras Monggolid dalam permukiman gua juga ditemukan di Jawa, antara lain Gua Braholo, Song Keplek, dan Song Tritis di Gunung Sewu (Widianto, 2003(Widianto, , 2004. Invididu Keplek 5 berusia 3.200 ± 50 BP mencirikan individu Ras Monggolid (Noerwidi, 2017). Jika pertanggalan ini benar, maka kemungkinan ras Ras Monggolid menghuni gua ini setelah ras Ras Australomelanesid yang terakhir lenyap pada 4.000 tahun lalu.…”

Austronesian migration since 4,500 years ago is an amazing phenomenon in the history of human civilization, related to the vast area and the time of spreading in the Indonesian Archipelago. There are not so many papers that summarize the Austronesian traces from paleoanthropological perspective. This paper describes the Austronesian diaspora in the archipelago, based on the physical characteristics of the human remains (especially craniodental), found in the archaeological context. Human remains with neolithic burial context were found in several cave sites on the karstic mountains at around 3,500 years ago, while skeletal remains with a paleometallic burial context were found from several coastal jar burial sites dating back to 2,000 years ago. In the future, intensive research is needed to determine whether the two diff erent burial characteristics are the result of cultural evolution or refl ects two layers of migration.

“…The arms were folded across the body, with the left hand placed on the chest and the right hand under the chin or in front of the face (Détroit 2006: 191–92; Figure 6D). An associated radiocarbon date on charcoal from the grave fill provides a tentative date of 5326–4870 cal BP (Table S2; Noerwidi 2017).…”
