“…During the Late Pleistocene, Flores hosted a number of insular endemics, including pygmy elephants (Stegodon florensis insularis), small-bodied hominins (Homo floresiensis), Komodo dragons (Varanus komodoensis) and giant marabou storks (Leptoptilos robustus), as well as vultures (Trigonoceps sp.) and a diverse set of murid and chiropteran taxa (Brown et al, 2004;Morwood et al, 2004Morwood et al, , 2005van den Hoek Ostende et al, 2006;van den Bergh et al, 2008Hocknull et al, 2009;Meijer and Due, 2010;Meijer et al, , 2013Locatelli et al, 2012). In contrast, the Holocene deposits at Liang Bua document modern humans (Homo sapiens), pigs (Sus scrofa), civet cats (Paradoxurus hermaphrodites), macaques (Macaca fascicularis), and porcupines (Hystrix javanica), while S. f. insularis, H. floresiensis, L. robustus, and Trigonoceps sp.…”

“…A major obstacle to reconstructing avian prehistory has always been the poor fossil record for birds in this region (Meijer, 2014). However, recent archeological excavations at Liang Bua-a cave site on the Indonesian island of Flores-have yielded a rich fossil avian assemblage (Meijer et al, 2013).…”

“…Liang Bua has provided one of the largest Late Pleistocene and Holocene faunal assemblages yet excavated in Island Southeast Asia, and it represents the first fossil record for birds in Wallacea (Meijer et al, 2013;Meijer, 2014). As a volcanic island within the Lesser Sunda island chain (Fig.…”

“…The dog was only recorded in sub-surface layers at Liang Bua dating to within the last 500 years (van den Bergh et al 2009). Although Meijer et al (2013) conducted comprehensive studies on the avifauna from Liang Bua there is no mention of domestic chicken.…”

terra australis 45Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and island Melanesia -lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present.

“…Nevertheless, very few such studies have been conducted in the faunally depauperate Wallacean islands. Important exceptions are the studies of small murid and swiftlet remains from Liang Bua on Flores, which were found to be digested by avian predators (Meijer et al 2013;Piper and Due 2006). Recent research of archaeofaunal deposits from the Tron Bon Lei (TBL) rockshelter on Alor Island, in the Lesser Sunda islands of eastern Indonesia (Figure 1), recovered a predominantly marine record (Samper Carro et al 2016), with fishing for carnivorous and herbivorous reef fish fluctuating over time and in response to changing marine ecologies and/or cultural practices during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition (Samper Carro et al 2016).…”
