Abstract

Gunungsewu Karst is a representation of a harsh drought region. For generations, local people have relied on telaga (pond), the only karst surface feature that can harvest rainwater, to fulfill their water needs. This anthropological study adopts hydrosocial and dwelling perspectives to understand how local people perceive and respond to ecological changes surrounding telaga over time. Furthermore, it aims to demonstrate that the functions of telaga transcend its material benefits. By exploring myths, water rites (merti telaga), and people's memory, I argue that the telaga serves as a waterscape and cosmological inspiration where humans and nonhumans (in this discussion, trees and water) interact, protect, and provide life to each other. This study also reveals that environmental changes in the telaga strongly stimulate the community to reorganize its cosmological realm. In other words, the accumulation of intersubjective relationships between local communities and the telaga can also be perceived as a historical process that creates a "biocultural memory" where humans' "genetic, linguistic, and cognitive" experiences intersect.

Abstract

Ecofact is a key for investigating mode of adaptation. Ecofact that commonly found on archaeological sites especially on inhabited caves were shell deposits. Fundamentally, the formation of archaeological record was resulted from behavioral processes and transformational processes. However, the problem is that we can’t observe them, because those aspects had occurred in past time. Etnoarchaeological study can be used to solve those problems. Ethnoarchaeology studies have given contribution to interpret various aspects of human life of the past, starting from issues related to the technological and tools systems, subsistence, social systems, and processes of transformation. Therefore, this ethnoarchaeological research investigates behavioral system of coastal community who has collected, consumed, and discarded sea shells. The result of this research can be used as a model from formation processes of sea shell ecofact.
