| Authors: Pahiyangala Sumangala |
| Abstract: Archaeological investigations at the Kebella-lena rockshelter in Sri Lanka have revealed a significant floor stone tile associated with a Terminal Pleistocene depositional context. This feature represents an important example of intentional spatial organization within a prehistoric habitation site. The stone tile, carefully arranged as part of the living surface, suggests deliberate modification of the rockshelter floor to create a stable and functional area for human activity. Its presence indicates an advanced understanding of space management and site maintenance among Late Pleistocene hunter-gatherer communities. |
