Abstract:
During the 2003 archaeological field-season at Niah (Barker et al., 2003), an opportunity arose to explore a small cave system located in the main Gunung Subis massif within the Niah National Park. The entrance to this cave, known as Panguma, is situated in the steep east face of the limestone massif some 40 m above the rainforest floor, and high enough to overlook the present-day forest canopy (Fig. 1). The cave can only be reached bya steep footpath from the base of the cliff, supplemented bya short ladder at the top. There is a hut at the cave mouth, occupied at the time of our visit by guards employed by the birds’ nest concessionaire, Mr Nuar bin Haji Jaya.
