Pokekea Megalithic Site, Archaeological site in Behoa Valley, Indonesia.
The Pokekea Megalithic Site contains 27 kalambas, which are large cylindrical stone vats, accompanied by decorated stone lids and statues called arcas.
Archaeological excavations from 2008 revealed that kalambas functioned as family burial chambers, each containing remains of at least ten individuals from elite community members.
The stone vats at Pokekea share design elements with monuments found on the Plain of Jars in Laos, indicating connections between ancient Southeast Asian societies.
The site lies within Lore Lindu National Park boundaries, requiring visitors to arrange guided tours for access and proper navigation through rural landscapes.
One prominent kalamba near the park entrance displays multiple decorative faces along its outer wall, with lids featuring small sculptures of monkeys and lizards.
