2024, a paper published in Nature described a ceiling panel found in the Leang Karampuang limestone cave in the Maros-Pangkep region of Sulawesi, Indonesia, in 2017. The composition in red pigment depicts a pig-like animal (suid) – most likely thought to represent the extant Sulawesi warty pig (Sus celebensis) – interacting with a group of at least three human figures (two holding stick-like objects), possibly depicting a hunting scene. A new method of dating, known as laser-ablation U-series imaging, assessed that the art was created a minimum of c. 53,500 years ago, give or take 2,300 years (hence the youngest possible minimum age of 51,200 years).
