Descrição: Reviewed: GRAEME BARKER & LUCY FARR (ed.). Archaeological investigations in the Niah Caves, Sarawak (The archaeology of the Niah Caves, Sarawak 2). 2016. XXX +562 pages. 298 b&w illustrations, 115 tables, CD-ROM (with an additional xv+ 339 pages, 76 colour and b&w illustrations, 82 tables). Cambridge: McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, 978-1-902937-60-1 hardback £65. Niah Cave is one of the key sites for documenting the prehistory of island Southeast Asia. Everything about k, from its massive size, the length of its occupation and the demands placed on those involved in its excavation, has a heroic dimension. Located behind the northern coast of Sarawak, Niah was subject to the massive environmental changes that characterised the later Pleistocene freeze and the global warming that inundated Sundaland. The research described in this second volume reporting on the 2000-2004 fieldwork reflects the combined and integrated analyses of 46 specialists under the baton of Graeme Barker.
