Skull Hill, Malaysia, Archaeological hill site near Semporna, Malaysia.
The hill rises 182 meters above sea level and contains a volcanic rock shelter within a 2-kilometer wide extinct volcano mouth.
Excavations between 1994 and 1995 revealed numerous artifacts including pottery shards, stone tools, and food remains dating back 3,000 years.
The site contains evidence of prehistoric maritime trade networks connecting ancient communities around the Andaman Sea through pottery production and distribution.
Visitors reach the summit via 610 wooden steps, with four rest shelters along the path providing information about the location's history.
The hill contains more than six million prehistoric pottery fragments, making it Southeast Asia's largest Neolithic pottery production location.
