Abstract

Semedo site produces a huge number of stone artifacts. Until now, there are already find more than 500 pieces of stone artifact which majority use chert and silicified limestone as raw materials. This paper will discuses about typology diversity based on technological aspect and spatial distribution of its localities. Diversity aspect which discussed including; typo-technology, raw material, dimension, and its relation with lateral distribution in Semedo site. Genaraly, those artifacts could identified as two group, which are; massif and non-massif artifacts. Some localities which produce much number of stone artifacts are Rengas, Jurugan, Julang, and Kalen Kawi. Based on this analysis, the result took Semedo site on important position as part of Pleistocene sites which correlated with migration-colonisation of early human in Java.

Abstract

Semedo site is rich on vertebrate fossils, with huge percentage come from Ordo Proboscidea. The aim of this paper is to identify the taxonomy of Proboscidean fossils important for reconstruction on Biostratigraphy of Java. This research uses a descriptive comparative method on morphological and morphometry characters, compared to similar data from Java and others related places. Based on this research we know that in Semedo site there are several species of Proboscidean, i.e.: Sinomastodon bumiayuensis, Stegodon trigonocephalus, Stegodon ”pygmy” semedoensis, Stegodon hypsilophus, Elephas (Archidiskodon) planifrons, and Elephas Hysudrindicus. This reflects that a long environmental changes or the history of ancient environment has been recorded in Semedo, related with ecological context of hominid appearance in this region.

Abstract

In Indonesia, underwater archaeology as a part of maritime study seems to be isolated, because the study has not yet made significant contribution to the understanding of maritime life ways in the archipelago. Various archaeological data needed to reveal the history of human settlement, insular trade, maritime history, migration, and other aspects of maritime culture in the archipelago are still concealed at the bottom of the sea or rivers. On the other hand, the development of underwater archeology in Indonesia is still left far behind compared to other Southeast Asian countries, so the abundant underwater archaeological data are still unreachable. So far, the existing underwater archaeology activities carried out within this largest archipelagic country are still aimed at exploring underwater 'treasure", with very limited concern on archaeological research. On another side, it is certainly aware that a"real" underwater archaeological research require the readiness of both human resources as well as the supporting equipments. Therefore, to develop more proper underwater archaeological activities, it is necessary to establish clear and executable policies and strategy, e.g by improving the quality and quantity of resources, establishing networking, and conducting other potential activities periodically, consistently, with high discipline.
