Archaeologists have discovered the skeletal remains of a child during their excavations at a cave renowned for its ancient rock art. The child, endearingly referred to as “Pangpond” after a beloved Thai cartoon character, is believed to have been buried over 29,000 years ago, as estimated by the Fine Arts Department (FAD).
Din Cave, located 125 meters above sea level, has attracted significant archaeological attention since the discovery of its rock paintings in 1996.
