Laili, Archaeological cave near Laleia, East Timor.
The limestone cave of Laili stands at 86 meters above sea level in the Manatuto District of northern East Timor.
Excavations at Laili revealed evidence of human occupation dating back 44,600 years, making it the second oldest known habitation site in Wallacea.
Stone artifacts found within Laili demonstrate the technological capabilities and manufacturing methods of early human populations in Southeast Asia.
The cave's location near the coastline provided inhabitants with access to marine resources while maintaining a stable distance from shore despite sea level changes.
Archaeological studies at Laili support theories about human migration from Asia to Australia through the Southern route via Java and Lesser Sunda Islands.
