Résumé
Since 2003, archaeological research has been resumed in the Annamite Mountains of Huà Pan Province, northern Laos, with ongoing excavations at two modern human fossil-bearing sites, Tam Hang and Tam Pa Ling. These sites date to the terminal and Late Pleistocene. In December 2016, another cave site was discovered while conducting a geologic survey of the region, Tam Pa Ping. This new site is located on the Pa Hang Mountain within 100 m of these previously identified sites. Tam Pa Ping contained a single burial dating to 2996 +/- 47 years BP with associated grave goods. Osteological analysis suggests this individual is an adult male, approximately 30 years old, with perimortem trauma to the thorax. There is evidence of cultural continuity in both burial practice and antemortem body modification between this individual and those buried at Tam Hang. There are stylistic similarities in the grave goods at Tam Pa Ping and Tam Hang, and both sites show intentional use of a cave as a primary burial location. Similarly, individuals from both sites show evidence that their anterior maxillary incisors were removed before death as indicated by antemortem alveolar resorption. This individual has an average measured δ13Capatite of -7.13‰, an indication of more C4 than C3 vegetation consumption. This find suggests that this area was occupied, either continuously or sporadically, through several glacial events from the earliest securely dated evidence of modern human occupation in Southeast Asia to the current period and contributes to the limited skeletal samples in the region.
