Where: Philippines (9.3° N, 118.0° E: paleocoordinates 9.3° N, 118.0° E)

• coordinate estimated from map

• outcrop-level geographic resolution

When: Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)

• The Tabon Cave Complex comprises over 200 cave and rockshelters, with dates documenting the earliest human occupation in the Philippine Archipelago ca. 30-40 ka. The chronology of RS1 was not determined due to extensive bioturbation by termites, but one radiocarbon date from RS2 was 11,130 +/- 50 YBP.

Environment/lithology: cave; siliciclastic sediments

Size class: macrofossils
