Partial skeletal specimens of Homo floresiensis were discovered in Liang Bua, a limestone cave on the island of Flores, by a joint Australian–Indonesian team of archaeologists in 2003 looking for evidence of the original human migration of H. sapiens from Asia to Australia. It is the only location in which such remains have been identified.
