Abstract: Pottery is one of the evidences of Austronesian cultural contact in Indonesia. In particular, in the central part of Sulawesi Island, namely in Gililana Cave, pottery decoration with denta-stamp motifs associated with burial in the metal period. The motifs appear as spheres with white coloring inside, derived from crushed shells. West Sulawesi’s Kalumpang (Karama River) is the closest area to this kind of culture. Although different in period with the function of Gililana Cave in the beginning, namely as a Residential Cave, in the paleometallic period Gililana Cave functioned as a place to store bodies using jars and wooden burial containers (soronga). The purpose of this research is to find out the Austronesian traces in the Central part of Sulawesi Island by using the method of identifying decorations on pottery and analyzing pottery materials.
