Abstract
The Bubog-1 rockshelter on Ilin Island has provided
important evidence for Late Pleistocene
to Mid-Holocene (c. 33 000–4000 cal BP)
human habitation, yet little is known about
the contemporaneous transmission of material
culture, technology and mortuary practices
across Island Southeast Asia. Recent archaeological
research at Bubog-1 has revealed a tightly
flexed inhumation dating to c. 5000 cal BP—a
type representative of a widespread, contemporaneous
burial practice observed across the region.
The emergence of diverse burial practices and
their spread across Island Southeast Asia coincides
with evidence for technological innovation
and increasing long-distance interaction
between island communities
