Abstract

Gua Kidang merupakan hunian manusia prasejarah yang diteliti Balai Arkeologi Yogyakarta sejak tahun 2005 dan masih berlanjut sampai sekarang. Berdasarkan survey permukaan di seluruh kawasan karst Blora, Gua Kidang adalah satu-satunya gua yang layak huni. Hal tersebut didasarkan pada morfologi lahan, sirkulasi sinar matahari, kemiringan, kelembaban, serta temuan permukaan. Tujuan penulisan ini adalah untuk menelusuri dan mengungkap jejak lokasi situs yang menjembatani kesinambungan antara kebudayaan Pleistosen dan Holosen yang masih gelap. Selain itu, menarik untuk dikaji lebih jauh adalah lokasi gua ini dikelilingi situssitus Pleistosen, yang pada hasil penelitian terakhir pada tahun 2013, memberikan titik terang. Metode yang digunakan adalah ekskavasi di Gua Kidang dan analisis terhadap temuan-temuan arkeologis, stratigrafi dan lingkungan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian selama tujuh kali, disimpulkan bahwa Gua Kidang merupakan gua yang intensif dihuni manusia prasejarah dengan tinggalan yang lengkap, berupa artefak, fitur, dan ekofak, serta rangka Homo sapiens.Abstract. Kidang Cave is a habitation of prehistoric people, which has been studied by the Yogyakarta Archaeological Centre since 2005 and still continues until now. A survey over the surface of the karst region of Blora reveals that Kidang Cave is the only habitable cave based on the morphology of the land, circulation of sunlight, slant, humidity, and surface finds. Thisarticle tries to explore and unveil traces of the site location that serves as a chronological bridge of continuity between the Pleistocene and the Holocene cultures, which is still obscure. In addition, it is interesting to note that further study is needed pertaining to the location of the cave, which is surrounded by Pleistocene sites that during the last research in 2013 has shed some light on that matter. The methods employed here are excavation at Kidang Cave and analyses on archaeological finds, stratigraphy, and the environment. Based on results of seven times of researches, it can be concluded that Kidang Cave had been intensively inhabited by prehistoric people and contains wide-ranging finds, which include artifacts, features, and ecofacts, as well as skeletons of Homo sapiens.

Abstract

We report on results from surveys undertaken in Sumatra during 2018 and 2019. The surveys had three objectives: (1) to examine, sample, and record the extensive Quaternary fossil deposits from caves in West Sumatra; (2) determine the potential for fluvial deposits in Riau and Jambi provinces; and (3) relocate the fossil proboscidean remains reported from Bangka Island. Our surveys produced several significant results. We mapped three important Padang Highland caves, Ngalau Lida Ajer, Ngalau Sampit, and Ngalau Gupin, locating and sampling the main fossil deposits in each, as well as recording additional caves in the region. Our surveys of the fluvial systems in central-west Sumatra did not reveal any vertebrate Pleistocene deposits but did yield Mio-Pliocene trace fossils. Finally, we relocated elephant fossils from Bangka, but no in situ vertebrate remains could be found. These finds add important new data to the geological history of Sumatra.
