SYDNEY, April 12 (Xinhua) -- Archeologists from Australia have published findings from an archeological dig in Indonesia on Thursday, which shows ice age hunter-gatherers on the island of Sulawesi arrived far earlier than once thought.

In the 1970's, artifacts were found at a rock shelter called Leang Burung 2, that seemed to suggest modern humans occupied the area around 25,000 to 34,000 years ago.
