Abstract:	This limestone area near Baturaja, through the resources it offered, is rather unique compared to the surrounding areas. Although it represents but a spot, it could be considered as a sort of "stopping-place" for human migration through times, and it seems to have retained the major traces of these episodes. The discovery of the main Prehistoric periods there should give the island of Sumatra the rank it deserves amongst the most important "archaeological places of interest", just like Java which participated to the global knowledge of the ancient history of Indonesia.
