“…As far as modern human origins in the region are concerned, archaeologists face the problem that the normally accepted 'markers' of modern humanity, such as blade tools, projectile points and use of ochre are rare to absent [in Southeast Asia] in the period of time termed 'the Upper Palaeolithic', although new dating of rock art in Sulawesi to about 40,000 years ago must surely alter our perspectives a little (Aubert et al 2014). Nevertheless, modern human behaviour in the Java Palaeolithic in Indonesia is not clearly distinguishable from the archaic human behaviour of Homo erectus in terms of the lithics that survive for archaeological inspection.…”

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.

“…249-250). If we understand that the website quoted here is designed to showcase the research project of the team which in 2012 offered us a then oldest known date for hand stencils at El Castillo, Spain [13]-very recently overtaken by a finding for a hand stencil in a cave in Sulawesi, Indonesia [14]-we are able to place this description of technique firmly in the perspective of freewheeling theorizing about the caves of southern Europe, a theorizing which in its beginnings was unchecked by observations made by privileged ethnographers of the New World. Such is the force of tradition.…”

Hand Traces: Technical Aspects of Positive and Negative Hand-Marking in Rock Art

Affordances necessary for the making of hand traces in the form of stencils and prints-primarily the availability of pigment and a suitable surface-bear on our understanding of their emergence as early exograms. Matters relating to the question of how pigment was/is applied, the placement and embellishment of images, the procurement and preparation of ochre, and the selecting and priming of surfaces, are discussed here-as well as the intriguing occurrence of variant hands. Advantage is taken of Australia's position as a zone of ongoing hand-marking practice to suggest what can be learned from ethnography. Finally, avenues for future research are proposed with a view to opening out a discussion of external information storage possibilities in relation to hand traces.
