Title:	Palaeoenvironments of North Sumatra: a 30,000 year old pollen record from Pea Bullok
Date:	1996
Source:	Bulletin of the Indo-Pacific Prehistory Association
Abstract:	Pea Bullok is an important site because it is one of only a handful on dry land from Southeast Asia which extends back through the last glacial cycle, a time of probable human dispersal throughout the islands, many of which were linked to the mainland by a lowland causeway now covered by the shallow seas of the Sunda Shelf. The pollen analysis and radiocarbon dating of Pea Bullok has added significant new information about Late Quaternary climatic and vegetation change in Island Southeast Asia but analysis of more older sites is desirable to build up a pattern of regional vegetation and climatic changes.
