Abstract

Paleontological data indicate that the beginning of Java Island’s human habitation took place at the Plio-Pleistocene boundary, around 2.4 Ma, along with uplift process and glacial-interglacial cycles. However, the oldest Homo erectus fossil was mainly found in the eastern part of Java Island where age-dating indicates that they were from ca. 1.5 Ma, especially along the riverbanks of Bengawan Solo and Brantas, such as Perning, Sangiran, Kedungbrubus, Ngandong, Ngawi, Trinil, and Sambungmacan.Recently, Pleistocene sites were discovered from the western part of Java, e.g., Rancah (Ciamis), Semedo (Tegal), and Bumiayu (Brebes) with their archeological, paleontological, and paleoanthropological potentials. This work will present the significance of the potential, especially paleoanthropological data from the new sites, and their implications to the Quaternary prehistory research strategies determination in the future.We present new geological, archeological, paleontological, and paleoanthropological evidence from those mentioned sites. The result shows that the distribution of Homo erectus were extended to the western part of Java, between 1.8-1.7 Ma, older than the oldest previous finding of Homo erectus from Perning and Sangiran. This finding suggests a new window of the human arrival on this island. So, why don’t we look to the west? Intensive research in the future should be addressed to the western part of Java Island.

Abstract

Tulisan ini membahas tentang eksplorasi dan pemanfaatan sumber daya alam oleh penghuni gua. Data yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah hasil ekskavasi situs Gua Arca di Pulau Kangean, Sumenep, Jawa Timur. Metode yang digunakan deskriptif dengan analisis ekofak dan analisis residu mikrobotani pada artefak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya pola adaptasi dari penghuni pulau ini, dengan melakukan eksplorasi maksimal terhadap sumber daya alam di darat dan laut. Pada periode awal hunian sekitar 6000 BP, terjadi pemanfaatan sumber daya darat yang cukup dominan berupa binatang dengan habitat hutan terbuka, yaitu Cervidae, Bovidae, Macaca sp., dan binatang kecil seperti Cercopithecidae, Rodentia dan Varanidae. Pada periode setelahnya, sekitar 900 BP, terjadi perubahan pemanfaatan sumber daya alam. Pemanfaatan sumber daya laut menjadi lebih dominan, yang sebagian besar diperoleh dari lingkungan perairan mangrove dan daerah pasang surut. Tumbuhan yang dimanfaatkan antara lain pisang liar, padi liar, kelapa, umbi, dan penggunaan intensif tanaman Zingiberacea.

Abstract

Abstract Paleontological data indicate that the beginning of Java Islandia occupation occurred at the Plio-Pleistocene boundary, around 2.4 Mya. However, the oldest Homo erectus fossil was found in Sangiran, around 1.5 Mya. Recently, Pleistocene sites were discovered from the western part of Java, e.g. Rancah, Semedo, and Bumiayu. This paper describes the significance of archeological, paleontological, and especially paleoanthropological data from the new sites, and their implications to the future Quaternary prehistory research strategies determination. Data collection methods include literature study and surveys, while analysis is carried out on the geological, archeological, paleontological, and paleoanthropological data. The result shows the dispersal of Homo erectus is extended to the western part of Java, between 1.8-1.7 Mya, older than the oldest Homo erectus of Sangiran. A new window of the human arrival on this island is identified. So, it is time to look to the west, and intensive research should be carried out to those areas. Abstrak Data paleontologis menunjukkan bahwa awal penghunian Jawa terjadi pada batas Plio-Plestosen sekitar 2.4 juta tahun lalu, namun fosil Homo erectus tertua yang ditemukan di Sangiran, berasal dari lapisan 1.5 juta tahun lalu. Belakangan ini, ditemukan situs-situs Plestosen, dari bagian barat Pulau Jawa, yaitu Rancah, Semedo, dan Bumiayu. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menampilkan signifikansi data arkeologi, paleontologi dan terutama paleoanthropologi dari situs-situs tersebut, serta implikasinya bagi penentuan strategi penelitian prasejarah kuarter di masa depan. Metode pengumpulan data meliputi studi pustaka, dan survei pada ketiga situs tersebut. Analisis data dilakukan pada data geologis, arkeologis, paleontologis dan paleoantropologis. Hasilnya, distribusi lateral Homo erectus semakin luas di bagian barat Jawa, dengan kronologi 1.8-1.7 juta tahun, lebih tua dibanding Homo erectus tertua dari Sangiran. Sebuah jendela baru tentang kedatangan Homo erectus di Pulau Jawa telah teridentifikasi. Implikasinya, sudah saatnya penelitian prasejarah kuarter intensif dilakukan di bagian barat pulau ini.

Abstract

More than 100 ancient human individuals were shown from various ancient deposits on the island of Java, whose sites are located in various physiographic landscapes, namely: the Solo basin (Sangiran and Miri), the volcanic deposits of the Kendeng Mountains (Trinil, Kedungbrubus, and Perning in Mojokerto), the Bengawan Solo alluvial deposits (Ngandong, Sambungmacan, and Ngawi), and the volcanic deposits of Mount Muria (Patiayam). Human migration on the island of Java is thought to have only taken place in the Lower Plestocene from mainland Asia, which probably originated in Africa.

Abstract

One of the perceptions of the wider community regarding the meaning of a fossil in everyday life-among other things, is ancient or ancient objects. It is easier for the general public to relate the notion of fossils to something that is antique and in context of the past. Some of these perceptions are true, but in fact a fossil has a broader and more specific meaning. Therefore, the people's perception of fossils above is only an initial understanding - a part of the whole understanding - which is still far from the real understanding of a fossil, so it must be equipped with more perfect definitions. In the above context, this paper will try to provide some understanding of fossils and their details, so that people's perceptions of the inappropriate understanding of fossils can be avoided.

Abstract

It is almost certain that the findings of human remains in the context of archaeological data in Indonesia will only range in two species, namely Homo erectus and Homo sapiens. Morphologically, these two types are very easy to distinguish in their cranio-facial aspects, but very difficult for their infra-cranial components. Due to the very limited nature of Homo erectus data which is often in fragmentary form and accompanied by the importance of observing every morphological aspect of this species because it has an evolutionary meaning which is very valuable for its information in the study of the process of human evolution. Homo erectus analysis has to be done in more detail, more carefully, and more thoroughly, to arrive at any interpretation that can be drawn.

Abstract

Persoalan alat paleolitik dan manusia purba, masih merupakan persoalan menarik dalam hakekat sejarah perkembangan manusia. Keduanya tidak dapat dipisahkan kaitannya selama Kala Plestosen, yaitu suatu periode kehidupan antara dua juta hingga 10.000 tahun silam. Oleh sifatnya yang tahan terhadap kekuatan destruktif alam, alat-alat batu yang sederhana tersebut telah dianggap bukti tentang eksistensi manusia saat itu. Bukti-bukti kehidupan tersebut ditemukan kembali dalam endapan Plestosen yang terbentuk, antara lain endapan-endapan teras sungai purba. Asal-usul manusia menjadi begitu kontroversiil selama berabad-abad, dan meliputi masa yang sangat gelap. Penemuan sisa-sisa Pithecanthropus erectus oleh Eugene Dubois di Desa Trinil pada tahun 1890 dan 1891, merupakan penemuan yang sempat menggemparkan dunia pengetahuan, dan hingga pertengahan abad 20 telah menjadi suatu legenda.

Abstract

Perkembangan arkeologi sebagai suatu ilmu yang mempelajari kehidupan masa silam berdasarkan benda-benda yang ditinggalkan, telah mengalami kemajuan pesat sejak abad 19. Bermula dari minat yang menimbulkan pengkoleksian benda-benda arkeologis, yang berakhir dengan usaha untuk mengungkap beberapa aspek yang mellputi benda tadi, antara lain jenis, fungsi, periode dan sebagainya. Langkah seperti ini mulai terlihat jelas pacrd tahun 1836, ketika J .C Thomsen~ kurator dari Museum Nasional Copenhagen, memperkenalkan Sistem Tiga. iaman (Three Ages ·system) bagi benda-benda hasil koleksinya. Klasifikasi tersebut didasarkan pada bahan dasar, yaitu batu, perunggu dan. besi (Soejono, 1976: 4). Kemudian disusul dengan langkah berikutnya yang lebih terarah, sehingga dalam waktu singkat, Ilmu Arkeologi telah mengalami proses pematangan. Konsekwensi logis dari proses tadi adalah tuntutan metode kerja yang sistematis bagi ilmu ini, seperti yang dinyatakan oleh Fagan sebagai berikut: ''We have talked of Archaeology as a discipline,_a label diliberately chosen because it fits well. The methods of archaeological research imply disicipline--accurate recording. precise excavation, using scientific methode, and detail analysis in the laboratory (Fagan, 1975:7)
