Abstract

The application of archaeobotany has been increasing for the last ten years in Indonesia, especially for studying the prehistoric human occupation. Indonesia has incredible biodiversity in flora, and the application of archaeobotanical methods and techniques is essential for understanding people-plant relationships in the past. It is also able to support and complement archaeological results and interpretations developed from analyses of other types of material culture. This paper examines archaeobotanical research in Indonesia through available published literature. The result demonstrates archaeobotanical analyses strengthen and enhance the interpretations of archaeological data and highlight the biases in the application towards prehistoric sites. Our research suggests that more recent archaeological sites have great potential for the application of archaeobotany. This approach needs to be introduced in the early stages of all project planning and research so that suitable recovery methods can be utilized, and adequate time and finances for analyses are factored in. The availability of facilities, infrastructure, and human resources to analyze archaeobotanical data will bring more opportunities for analyses in this field.

Abstract

Abstract, Past Community Activities in Doro Mpana Site, Dompu. Research at Doro Mpana Site started with a report from the Head of Kandai Satu Village about the findings of a number of objects which are suspected of being archaeological remains in the form of earthenware fragments, ceramics, metal objects, human bone fragments, and Batu Dimpa. Batu Dimpa is a term given by the community for flat stones which are believed to be ancient grave markers. The purpose of this study was to determine the activities carried out by the community of Doro Mpana Site in the past. Data was collected through excavation, survey, and interview methods. Data were analyzed using specific analysis that focused on the physical characteristics of artifacts and contextual analysis related to the connection between archeological data. Three excavation squares were opened in this first phase of research. The results of excavation are earthenware fragments, foreign ceramic fragments, andesite stones, Batu Dimpa, brick structures, and human bone fragments. In the past, Doro Mpana site was once used for burial. Foreign ceramics findings show that the community in the past had been in contact with the outside world in trade relations. Utilization of Doro Mpana as a settlement in more recent time is supported by brick findings and some historical records.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui aktivitas masyarakat pendukung Situs Doro Mpana pada masa lalu. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode ekskavasi, survei, dan wawancara. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis khusus yang menitikberatkan ciri fisik artefak dan analisis kontekstual yang berkaitan dengan hubungan antardata arkeologi. Tiga buah kotak ekskavasi dibuka dalam penelitian tahap pertama ini. Adapun hasil ekskavasi adalah berupa fragmen gerabah, fragmen keramik asing, batu andesit, Batu Dimpa, struktur bata, dan fragmen tulang individu manusia. Pada masa lalu Situs Doro Mpana pernah dimanfaatkan untuk penguburan. Temuan keramik asing menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat pada masa lalu telah mengadakan kontak dengan dunia luar dalam hubungan perdagangan. Pemanfaatan Doro Mpana sebagai permukiman pada masa yang lebih muda didukung temuan bata dan catatan sejarah. Kata Kunci: Doro Mpana, Dompu, Batu Dimpa
