Kuko Early Agricultural Site Kuko Early Agricultural Site includes 16 hectares of wetlands located on an altitude of 1500 meters in southern New Guinea. Archaeological excavations found that this landform was one of the transformed wetlands of the year and lasted for as long as 7000 to 10000 years. These include well-preserved archaeological remains that represent a technological leap in transforming plant collection into agricultural activities some 6500 years ago.
