Analysing Aproteles bulmerae mega bat remains from the Kiowa Rockshelter, Papua New Guinea

Résumé

The Kiowa rockshelter (Simbu province, PNG) was first excavated in 1960 by a team led by Susan Bulmer [1]. Located at ∼ 1530 masl this rockshelter was used from the late Pleistocene to late-Holocene (12 k to 3 kya). Lithic assemblages and faunal remains excavated at Kiowa suggest that the site was first used as a hunting camp, with bats being the species most frequently captured. This led to the large fruit bat (Aproteles bulmerae) becoming locally extinct around 10 kya, although found to be extant elsewhere in New Guinea. We propose a methodological approach to access data from A. bulmerae remains.
