Lene Hara cave, Archaeological cave site near Tutuala, Timor-Leste
The Lene Hara cave system extends through limestone formations at the eastern tip of Timor-Leste, containing ancient artwork and archaeological remains.
Portuguese anthropologist Antonio de Almeida conducted the first scientific investigation of Lene Hara cave in 1963, initiating decades of archaeological research.
The cave walls display carved faces with circular headdresses and extended rays, representing the earliest dated human face petroglyphs in Southeast Asia.
Visitors need to arrange local guides from Tutuala village to access the cave site, which requires proper equipment and permissions for exploration.
Researchers discovered sixteen hand stencils painted on the cave walls in 2020, confirming human artistic activities during the Pleistocene period.
