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.
