Prehistoric cave settlements found in Papua

Researchers working in Papua have found caves used by Neolithic people, complete with pottery, shells and animal bones.

This is very interesting because there is proof that the inhabitants of the caves had communications with the community members living in the coastal areas of the youtefa Bay.

“This indicates that the prehistoric men have already had communications with each other as proven by the findings of the sea mollusc shells in the caves,” he said.

After all, the type of soil in the three caves are not suitable for producing potteries. Thus, it is concluded that the potteries found in the caves came from other places outside the cave areas.
