Abstract

This research discusses and applies photogrammetry techniques to determine the depth of the script carvings on some worn-out stone inscriptions so images of scripts can be more readable. Inscriptions are the backbone of ancient Indonesian historical writings. Unfortunately the significance of many such ancient inscriptions can not yet be used optimally since many inscriptions are found in a state of having poor legibility, and this due both to natural as well as human factors. To this day, photogrammetry techniques have not been widely used by Indonesian researchers in order to help analyze existing cultural heritage objects, especially stone inscriptions. In addition to previous photogrammetric techniques reviews, this article also brings forward my experiment on the photogrammetric techniques, especially those directly related to the stone inscriptions. The reconstruction was not intended to interpret the meaning of the scripts, but rather to give epigraphists a new insight into other ways of clarifying worn-out scripts.

Abstract

Paleontological data indicate that the beginning of Java Island’s occupation occurred at the Plio-Pleistocene boundary, around 2.4 Mya. However, the oldest Homo erectus fossil was found in Sangiran, around 1.5 Mya. Recently, Pleistocene sites were discovered from the western part of Java, e.g. Rancah, Semedo, and Bumiayu. This paper describes the significance of archeological, paleontological, and especially paleoanthropological data from the new sites, and their implications to the future Quaternary prehistory research strategies determination. Data collection methods include literature study and surveys, while analysis is carried out on the geological, archeological, paleontological, and paleoanthropological data. The result shows the dispersal of Homo erectus is extended to the western part of Java, between 1.8-1.7 Mya, older than the oldest Homo erectus of Sangiran. A new window of the human arrival on this island is identified. So, it is time to look to the west, and intensive research should be carried out to those areas.

Abstract

Ulu is a script developed in the southern part of Sumatra. The origin of the word ulu interpreted as upstream of a river or a highland. Ulu scripts are no longer used in the present era. Nevertheless, this paper examines the Islamic tradition in the Pasemah area based on the contents of Ulu manuscripts and inscriptions. The research objective is to discover the Islamic tradition in the contents, while the research purpose is to identify the influence of Islamic tradition towards the content. The research method includes data processing (source study, interview, and literature study), description of scale, origin, owner, state or condition, language, variation of characters, transliteration, translation, interpretation, synthesis, and data presentation. The result shows that the contents of Ulu manuscripts and inscriptions have intensely been influenced by Islamic tradition. The influence of Islam in Ulu manuscripts or inscriptions can also be comprehended from the public opinion towards it, categorized as profane, semi-sacred, and sacred.

Abstract

Previously, several toponymy studies have already been conducted both in the Nusa (Island) Ambon as well as in the City of Ambon. However, previous studies have not used the historical-archaeological approach. The use of this approach could ease the researchers to reveal the cross-cultural meeting in a specific locus. Taking the Island of Ambon as a locus, the researchers aim to find the origin of village names and the cultural intersection in Leihitu and Leitimor Peninsula. There were three steps conducted to collect and analyse data using historical-archaeological approach. Firstly, the researchers identified and took a tabulation of the village names, mentioned by the Hikayat Tanah Hitu (The Epic of Hitu Land) and three ancient maps. Secondly, the researchers identified various archaeological remains located in the scattered villages. Finally, the researchers analysed the origin of village names by searching the word-meanings, finding the present locations, and describing the role of the contemporary cultures (Islamic and Colonial period) in the past. The researchers found 12 villages with 22 archaeological remains. All related communities have the archaeological remains which could explain the local dynamics, but there are merely ten villages which name meanings could be identified.

Abstract

This paper examines microorganisms causing damage to rock arts in Leang Pettae, Maros Karst Area, South Sulawesi. The damage is indicated by a layer of white sediment on the cave walls and rock arts. This research aims to identify the microorganisms that cause the damage and to determine the preservation strategy for the rock arts. Microorganism samples were taken from the area around the damaged hand stencils and figurative paintings of babirusa (Babyrousa). The samples were cultured on PDA (Potatoes Dextrose Agar) medium at the Biology Laboratory of the Agency for Borobudur Conservation. The analysis identifies fungus from the genus Paecilomyces, which thrives in humid and wet conditions, and produces protease enzymes that affect the organic elements of the rock arts. To preserve the rock arts in Leang Pettae, it is suggested to control temperature and humidity, prevent air pollution, and limit human activities inside the cave.

Abstract

This study aims to examine and identify the place of origin of the slender Agastya statue (arca) stored in the Mpu Purwa Museum, Malang. The object of study is the Agastya depicted with a slender stomach, partially curled and partially loose on the back hair-style, and holding the trident weapon from its backrest. The research method is qualitative descriptive, using inductive reasoning with the sense of analytical description. This research uses analysis of iconography, ecology, contextual, and historical approach. The result shows that the slender Agastya is locally made with high quality and influenced by the Gupta-Indian style, which appeared in the VIII to IX centuries in Central Java.  The origin of Agastya statue also known as part of the Karangbesuki temple ruins in Desa Karangbesuki. The Agastya acts as a Hindu temple mandala statue placed in a niche of the south side wall. These result is expected to be useful for further researches.
