Abstract

The main fieldwork of the NCP concentrated on the West Mouth, but we also carried out small-scale archaeological investigations in three other entrances of the Great Cave complex in the Bukit Bekejang massif where the Harrissons worked: Lobang Hangus (or Lobang Angus as they referrerd to it in the earlier publications), Lobang Tulanf, and Gan Kira, and in the north-facing entrance to Kain Hitam, the so-called 'Painted Cave' located a few hundred metres north-east of Gan Kira.
