This article focuses on matters related to rock art, burials and habitations caves in East Kalimantan. The discovery of charcoal drawings in a rock shelter by archaeologist Luc-Henri Fage and a caving team on a trek through Kalimantan from Pontianak to Samarinda in 1988 initiated an extensive program of ethnoarchaeological survey. Every year since 1992, a Franco-Indonesian team has conducted surveys of caves and rock shelters in East Kalimantan, providing a large set of new data from different periods and greatly enlarging archaeological knowledge of this part of Island Southeast Asia. Caves appear to have been used as habitation locations from late Pleistocene to contemporary periods.
