Abstract: 32,000 B.P, This assemblage was composed primarily of modern, extant species today associated with the tropical Southeast Asian rain forest ecosystem (Hooijer 1961: 166).Faunal remains from Spirit Cave indicate that the fauna of this area was also composed of modern species well back into the late Pleistocene.From the climatological, botanical, and faunal evidence now available there would appear to have been little change in the Southeast Asian environment from the late Pleistocene through to the present.This present environment, then, can be projected back into the past, suggesting an environmental potential against which selective factors in the cultural ecology of the early inhabitants of Spirit Cave may be evaluated" ARCHAEOLOGICAl:.
