Abstract:
Almost half a century has passed since the Sarawak Museum began investigations at ‘Niah Great Cave’, or Subis cave, Niah (T. Harrisson 1958b). Here, the West Mouth has provided South-east Asia’s longest dated archaeological profile (T. Harrisson 1959b, 1967, Zuraina Majid 1982). The trenching system was established on rectangular cuts descending from a pointon the original surface and measured vertically in inches (Solheim 1977). At the centre of the site, two samples at the 106 inch level yielded compatible C14 ages with overlapping 95% confidence limits in the band 40 500- 40 600 years (T. Harrisson 1970, Shutler 1979). Although no deeper samples were taken for dating, the dig continued downwards fruitfully (Medway 1960b).
