Abstract

This article is written based on the results of several archaeological investigations carried out by the National Research and Development Centre of Archaeology in prehistoric caves, in the Rotendao Regency on the Island of Rote, the Province of East Nusa Tenggara between 2006 - 2009. The investigations were focused on Mbia Hudale, Bafak, and Bote caves which are assumed to have prolific archaeological remains. Excavations on these caves reveal traces of human occupation dated back to Late Pleistocene - Holocene epoch. This is evident in the abundance of cultural remains found in these sites, such as plain and decorated potteries, mollusk shells, jewelry (beads) made of shell, lithic stone flakes and blades, as well as faunal remains. Not a single human bone was found during the excavations. Furthermore, archaeological surveys conducted in this area have identified 18 potential caves and rockshelters, as well as a Palaeolithic opensite which are scattered within 8 districts. The results of the researches suggest that prehistoric caves in the Island of Rote are potential and prospective in illuminating prehistoric human migration and cultural processes that took place in the eastern part of Indonesia during Late Pleistocene until Holocene epoch.

Abstract

Leprosy is a chronic, mildly communicable disease of man which primarily affects the skin, mucous membranes, peripheral nerves, eyes, bones and testes due to Mycobacterium leprae. Some researches show the evidence of leprosy spread worldwide in recent human history. Therefore, it is important to put leprosy’s case on the map to build broader knowledge, not only about the spread of leprosy, but also about human dispersal. The aim of the present study is to detect the M.leprae from ancient population in order to know its relevance to the peopling of Indonesia. Macroscopic method was performed based on Ortner method and Aufderheide and Rodriguez-Martin method to identify leprosy on the cranium of Lewoleba specimen (LLI/5), from Lembata Island, Indonesia. The antiquity of Lewoleba specimen is 2990+/-160BP. The results of the macroscopic method show that the specimen has suffered from leprosy in her lifetime. Some researchers concluded that emergence of leprosy related to human migration, in term of modern human dispersal, some researchers proved that the spread of leprosy worldwide consistent with the source of modern human (East Africa) and the spread of leprosy is also fit with the pattern of modern human dispersal. This fact provides an important clue how the M. leprae spread worldwide. Because the leprosy spread through human migration, this means also that leprosy could be infected the ancient people of Indonesia. This is because Indonesia was one of modern human migration’s route

Abstract

Pustaka Rajya Rajya has become a controversial text in Indonesian historiography. Some experts including philologists, archaeologists, and historians are still having strong arguments on the authenticity of the text. Pustaka Rajya are indeed an interesting text to be examined. Among others, Pustaka Rajya told 'a fantastic' story, on the History of Ancient Mataram Kings. In other hand, we also found another authentic historical source, Wanua Tengah Ill inscription. This copper inscription also contains a 'short story' about ancient Mataram kings. Therefore, in this article informations from the two sources will be compared. The result shows how the 'writer in the past' has written 'his own past'.

The purpose of Yajfia Sraddha and Yajfia Memukur ceremonies are basically similar. It is devoted to the people who have passed away so that they can re-unite with the Gods or with the ancestors. This article compares these two ceremonies to reveal the similar aspects.

Abstract

Majapahit is a powerful kingdom which ruled Java from 12th to 15th century A.D. The kingdom was well known as the center of Javanese civilization with a tremendous influential power throughout the archipelago. Its capital was found in an area which had long been assumed as located in Trowulan District of Mojokerto Region in East Java. Archaeologists had long been assumed that the potential main access for entering the area were roads as well as rivers with Bengawan Solo as the most important one. Some old Javanese inscriptions mentioned the crossing-through villages lying over the river's edge which among them were Madanten, Wringin Wok and Bajrapura. Those village names could still easily be found until today, located over the edge of Bengawan Solo River in Gresik District. Mojopura Wetan is believed as an ancient village as mentioned in the inscription, identical to Bajrapura. Beside located close to Bengawan Solo, in the village was also found Hindu and Buddha statues. At present in the village could still be found the activity of local people using small boat to cross the river.
