17,000-Year-Old Artefacts Discovered in Malaysia Cave | Ancient Architects

The National Heritage Department of Malaysia has found more than 100 Palaeolithic artefacts estimated to be 17,000 years old in a number of caves in Gunung Pulai in Baling, Malaysia. Artefacts include stone tools, pottery fragments, river snails and limpets were discovered at a number of excavation sites including Gua Kelambu, Gua Tembus and Gua Akar. The Director General of the National Heritage Department said that the artefacts were discovered while his department was conducting explorations in the area between April and October last year. If the artefacts do prove to be 17,000 years old, as suspected, it means that the settlement on Gunung Pulai is among the oldest in the country and is older than the locally famous Sungai Batu archaeological site in Merbok.
