Abstract

Beneath the ancient veil of Java's karst regions, prehistoric humans carved out their lives in caves and crevices. The island's rugged topography, shaped by eons of geological forces, created a diverse landscape that fostered unique cultural adaptations. In the south, towering mountains and sheer cliffs provided shelter and vantage points, while the gentler northern slopes offered fertile valleys and hidden caves. This study explores the fascinating interplay between human ingenuity and the natural world, as revealed in the prehistoric caves of Java. Through a descriptive-analytical approach that combines surveys and excavations, we will reconstruct the lives of these early inhabitants, examining their exploration patterns, resource utilization, and spatial planning. By delving into the depths of these ancient abodes, we can uncover the secrets of a lost civilization and gain a deeper understanding of our own human journey.
