With the sea about 120 metres lower, about 14,000 square kilometres of today’s shallow seas on this plate were dry land, a twentieth of its sea, and the plate had a quarter more land. Tanimbar grew to about twice its size, but Timor stayed an island, still a sea crossing from the dry shelf of Australia. The land was already dry when the timeline begins; the rising sea drowned most of it between 15,966 and 7,306 years ago. The lines that stand for the shallow sea turn a third of the way to the colour of land, all at once, and only across those spans.", "source": "Lambeck et al. 2014, PNAS 111:15296; Bird et al. 2018, Quaternary Science Reviews 191:431; Kealy et al. 2017, Archaeological Prospection 24:259"},
