This session is a continuation of the IPPA 2022 session on Caves. The role of Caves in understanding and reconstructing the past, particularly during the prehistoric period, has been significant. Caves have been used in a variety of ways, such as temporary shelters, and burial and ritual sites. The semi- closed system of caves has provided archaeologists with an in situ context of past human activities that most open sites lack. But working in caves also presents different challenges, such as depositional and post-depositional processes and modern disturbance and impact chronometric dating and interpretation. To address these concerns, several new technologies have been used and novel approaches applied in conducting cave archaeology. This session will tackle recent archaeological work on caves in the Indo-Pacific region and will include presentations addressing current archaeological research, new approaches to cave archaeology, and issues and problems encountered when excavating caves.
