Abstract

Prehistoric archaeological research in Indonesia recently showed the existence of dwelling caves from the late Pleistocene, starting from Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi to East Nusa Tenggara. The Song Gede site is one of the dwelling caves from the late Pleistocene which was very interesting to be discused, especially when tracing the distribution of early modern humans in Southeast Asia. The location of the Song Gede site is considered to have a very strategic position because it was located at the eastern end of the Sunda Shelf towards Wallacea. The purpose of this paper is to study the chronology of the Song Gede Site and review the results of research at the Song Gede Site as an ocupation site that is on the migration route in the southern part of the Sunda Shelf to the Wallacea region or vice versa. The research method used was stratigraphic analysis, contextual and carbon dating methods. The results showed that the Song Gede Site has been inhabited since the late Pleistocene to the Holocene. The human living in the cave uses various natural resources to meet their daily needs, such as the use of rock materials, and the rest of the animal remains for tools and the use of animal and plants to fulfill their daily consumption.
