Early human symbolic behavior in the Late Pleistocene of Wallacea
Abstract
Significance: We present evidence from the Late Pleistocene of Sulawesi, Indonesia, where an unusually rich and unique symbolic complex was excavated from archaeological deposits spanning 30,000 to 22,000 y ago. Including previously unknown practices of self-ornamentation, used ochre, pigmented artifacts, and portable art, these findings advance our knowledge of the cultural repertoires of modern humans in Pleistocene Wallacea, including the nonparietal artworks and symbolic material culture of some of the world’s earliest known “cave artists.”

In the citing paper
“Sulawesi has been the focus of many archaeological excavations since the 1960s (O'Connor and Bulbeck, 2014;Brumm et al., 2017;Bulbeck et al., in press), and has received an increasing amount of attention recently with some of the oldest dates (ca.40.7 ka) for early modern human occupation in Wallacea located just south of our modeled path (SOM Fig. S1; Aubert et al., 2014)”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
