A large cave known as Gua Sireh, which is located in the state of Sarawak on the island of Borneo in Malaysia, features one of the most extensive collections of recently drawn cave art found anywhere in the world. In a study of the Malaysian rock art just completed by a team of archaeologists from Australia, Malaysia and New Zealand, radiocarbon dating procedures revealed that the indigenous cave drawings were made between the years 1670 and 1830, when the Bidayuh people were using the cave for shelter and protection.
