Extended Data Fig. 1

a, b, Typical middle-to-late Holocene artefact types from Toalean assemblages in South Sulawesi; pressure-flaked stone ‘Maros points’ (both artefacts are from Leang Pajae, Maros) (a) and backed microliths (top: Leang Pajae; bottom: Leang Bulu Bettue, Maros) (b). c, Osseous points (left: from the layer 4 Toalean human burial, Leang Panninge; right: Leang Rakkoe, Maros). di, Excavation at Leang Panninge in 2019. Excavation of a trench placed adjacent to the rear wall in the west-facing cave entrance (d, e): viewed from northwest to southeast (note that the name of the cave site is incorrectly transcribed in this locally produced banner) (d); viewed from north to south (e); northwest to southeast (f); detail of the excavation work (g). Excavated trench faces at the end of the 2019 field season, following soil column-sampling (h, i): trench viewed from northeast to southwest, showing the intersection between the western walls of excavation squares S16T6 and S17T6 and southern walls of S17T6 and S17T7 (h); trench viewed from north to south, with the main stratigraphic section facing the viewer showing the northern walls of S16T6 and S16T7 (i).
