Abstract
The prehistoric hunter and gatherers have two type of cave or rock-shelter settlement. The first one is homebase, which they stay here for a  long time and gather their food from environtment  natural sources. When their environtment sources empty, they hunt or gather in the other natural sources. They need other cave or rock-shelter as transit-site to make energy efficiency or  hunting strategy— trap or view the animal hunting target.
