“…Although the national park was established to protect the natural heritage value of the area, it also contains a large number of diverse cultural sites, including stone altars and other built ritual structures, fortified settlements, open shell middens, and caves and rockshelters, many of which are associated with rock paintings or engravings. Some of these sites have been the focus of intensive archaeological research over the past two decades (Lape 2006;Lape and Chao 2008;O'Connor 2003, Connor et al 2010;O'Connor, Barham et al 2011;O'Connor et al 2017;O'Connor et al 2012;O'Connor, Ono et al 2011;O'Connor et al 2013;O'Connor and Veth 2005;Pannell and O'Connor 2012;Veth et al 2005). Caves and rockshelters are abundant within the uplifted coralline limestone terraces that parallel the coast in this area.…”

Hand stencils are the oldest manifestations of Palaeolithic cave art. Recent archaeological field research in the Tutuala region of Timor-Leste has documented new archaeological sites at the Lene Kici caves that include Palaeolithic hand motifs and other nonfigurative motifs including a disk, dots, a triangle, and possible other geometric shapes. This study characterizes the production techniques, shapes, composition, and spatial locations of these motifs. Based on the available information and regional context, a Pleistocene chronology is considered highly probable. The context of the hand stencils suggests they were not occasional motifs; rather, they seem to have dominated the early graphic repertoire of the earliest settler groups in Southeast Asia and the islands of Wallacea.

“…In addition, other regions such as Tutuala, Lorehe, Kom, and Lospalos are the largest speakers of the Fataluku language [9]. The people of Lospalos, especially the communicators of the Fataluku language, show their cultural identity more by interpreting the Fataluku language as a sign of collegality compared to other language meanings [10]. When Lospalos people meet and speak outside the Lospalos area they tend to use the Fataluku language as a symbol of collegiality.…”

Organizasaun Lospalos Uan Ukani Bandung is an association of foreign students from Lospalos-Timor Leste studying in Bandung. Student members of this organization come from the city of Lospalos, Timor Leste. Their culture and language is fataluku which is a culture with high context communication. This study aims to determine the communication style of students who are members of the organization. The theoretical framework used in this research is Symbolic Interaction which examines the meaning that arises from the reciprocal interaction of individuals in the social environment with other individuals and focuses on the question of what symbols and meanings can arise from interactions between humans in a small to a wider scope. such as groups, organizations or social communities such as what happened in Organizasaun Lospalos Uan Ukani. The method used in this research is qualitative-descriptive. The results of the study prove that the communication style of students from the Los Palos uan Ukani Bandung organization is a low context communication style that is different from the fataluku culture communication style which is classified as a high context cultural communication style. This difference is caused by the mixing of the multilingual communication students of the Los Palos uan Ukani Bandung organization.
