This paper presents a study of the landscape on the site of several caves that have rock art of prehistoric times. Some prehistoric caves in the southern of the Island of Sulawesi, are the cave region with hand stencils and painting animal. This research is focused on painting animal and cultural landscape. The methods used include collecting the result of rock art research in this region, then classifying the type of painting animal and determining the layout of the painting in the map using GIS software. This software is also used to measure both nearest and farest site from the coastal range in Pleistocene times. The results of identification based on the animal painting, cave pattern distribution, and the environment in the past, finally explained that the prehistoric cave region in the Southern part of Sulawesi is a cultural landscape that has been occupied by two different identity groups based on the characters of the paintings.
