This paper is written to provide material for reflections on the prehistoric periodization system in Indonesia. Some of the main questions that become material for reflection are: whether the basis used to create the periodization system is in accordance with the objectives to be achieved; whether the periodization system is able to provide alternative solutions to various prehistoric phenomena in Indonesia; whether the periodization system can identify the process of cultural change; and finally, whether the current periodization system is still relevant with the rapid development of archaeological methods and theories. These kinds of questions are urgent for further study.
