Abstract
Some characteristics of stone technology in the three
outer arc islands of Nusa Tenggara during several phases
of human occupation are examined. The data derive
mainly from the results of my excavations on Rote and
Sawu, that are compared with the results of earlier
excavations in East Timor by Ian Glover. There is an
indication that stone technology in the region changed
entering the last glacial maximum, as indicated by the
disappearance of large tools with Hoabinhnian-like
technologies. But the sample is very minimal for statistical
testing. There are also lithic technological changes
after the Mid-Holocene.
