Purbawidya: Jurnal Penelitian dan Pengembangan Arkeologi
ISSN : 22523758     EISSN : 25283618     DOI : https://doi.org/10.55981/purbawidya
Purbawidya is a journal that publishes research, conceptions, and ideas on the development of archaeology. This paper explores the meaning and significance of “Purbawidya”, which translates to “Past Knowledge” in English. Using various approaches from archaeology, anthropology, sociology, philology, history, architecture, geography, geology, biology, chemistry, ecology, and other sciences, this paper analyses how humans and past cultures are studied and understood through Purbawidya. The paper argues that Purbawidya is not only a journal name, but also a concept that reflects the interdisciplinary and holistic nature of archaeological inquiry.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the largest archipelagic countries in the world, one of which is rich in cultural diversity in the form of values, ideas, behaviors, and cultural heritage materials from the past to the present. Cultural diversity, such as archaeological remains, which is an asset for recording the development of historical and cultural values forming the identity of the Indonesian nation's civilization, has developed massively as a tourist attraction that can generate income. As a result, it have impact on increasing economic exploitation of archaeological remains by the government, local government, industry, and society. Which inturn often consciously or not causes problems besides causing degradation of historical and cultural values, as well as the existence of these archaeological remains. For this reason, the diversity of archaeological remains as a national asset is important to managed and preserved sustainably through a sustainable tourism development approach. Scientific articles that aim to provide ideas or concept solutions are like library research carried out through qualitative descriptive analysis methods by relying on the availability of secondary data and information relevant to the topic, both in print and electronic form, from various sources. Hopefully, this article can be input into the process of solving problems and making decisions needed by the government in formulating policies for managing archaeological remains in a sustainable and integrated manner to strengthen conservation efforts for the benefit of the people's welfare.

Abstract

This paper aims to explain the management plan of the Mulyosari site in accordance with the social and cultural potential of Banyuwangi. There are two methods of data collection, through literature studies and Focus Group Discussion (FGD).  The study of literature comprises archaeological and historical data from the prehistoric to the historic era. It also comprises social and cultural data for the present-day Banyuwangi. Meanwhile, FGD comprises an overview of stakeholder perceptions of the Mulyosari site and the expected management plan. Based on that, the Mulyosari site shortterm management plan was compiled. The management plan is still open to any adjustments in the future. It has adaptive sense in line with the ongoing archaeological research at the Mulyosari site. There are two actions that need to be taken immediately: first, conducting comprehensive archaeological research, and second, official stipulating   the Mulyosari site as a cultural heritage site. Such actions are considered an initial plan for the management of the cultural site. It adheres to the principle of preservation as stated in UU Cagar Budaya No 11 Tahun 2010.

Abstract

Dolina Kidang is a funnel-shaped cavity on the ground surface connected to the underground canal system in limestone areas. In this Dolina, there are two caves facing each other. Based on the results of a cave survey of in Blora Regency, Dolina Kidang is the only residential cave that has archaeological potential. This fact is an interesting problem to study, why is there a prehistoric cave dwelling in the Blora Regency area? How is it related to the distribution of prehistoric cave dwellings in Gunung Sewu, this area should have great potential. Blora Regency is an important area with archaeological remains from the Pleistocene, such as the Ngandong, Jigar, and Sungun sites in the Bengawan Solo watershed. This paper is intended to explain the cultural importance of prehistoric cave dwellings in the Rembang Zone. In addition, this study will also examine how the pattern of human adaptation and roaming to survive with the availability of natural resources around it. The method used is descriptive-explanatory based on the findings of the excavation which is then linked to the spatial aspect. Based on the results of these analyzes and observations, it can be understood how the humans who inhabit the Kidang Dolina adapt to the surrounding environment, especially in applying the pattern of the hunting season for animals (for consumption), the use of bone and shell remains and sources of rock materials to make tools.

Abstract

This study raises the issue of the characteristic and use of rock shelters and caves at the Batu Cave, Cililin Cave 1, and Jauharlin Cave 1 located in the karst area of ​​Kotabaru, South Kalimantan. Archaeological data was obtained by survey and excavation at the three sites. The analysis is carried out by compiling parameters consisting of 2 aspects, namely the physical cave and niche, and the characteristic of the findings. Analysis of the two parameters resulted in an interpretation providing an overview of the forms of utilization of the three caves studied. This study uses an ecological approach to understand that humans cannot be separated from their environment. The results showed that caves and niches had been used for two different activity components. Batu Cave, Cililin Cave 1, and Jauharlin Cave 1 were used for human inhabition that developed a Mesolithic-Neolithic culture 4000 years ago. Cililin Cave 1 was also used as a location for ironstone smelting workshops in the later period, which was around the 2nd century AD meanwhile, Jauharlin Cave 1 was used for the burial of Mongoloid humans in 530 AD.

Abstract

The Kedulan Temple, which was completely restored in 2019, showed many new things to be observed, moreover the discovery of three inscriptions on the inner courtyard of the temple made it even more interesting to study. This paper will discuss the architectural and artistic aspects of the Kedulan Temple and its relation to the inscriptions found with the aim of looking at the characteristics of architecture and art and their relation to the periodization of the Kedulan Temple. The research method used is descriptive analysis with an emphasis on comparative analysis of architectural forms and decorative arts. The studies that have been carried out showed that the Kedulan Temple is a model of a Hindu-Shiva temple with distinctive architectural characteristics and has decorative motifs that are in harmony with the year number of the inscription, namely in the second half of the 9th century AD (869 AD). Specifically, the decorative motifs of the Kedulan Temple prove that this temple is one of the youngest or belongs to the final phase of the Central Javanese art.

Abstract

The development of transportation networks has been an important factor in accelerating economic and trade progress in Lampung and southern Sumatra since the second decade of the 20th century. The development of transportation facilities has changed the centers of economic activity and settlements in the Lampung region from being centered around rivers to roads and railways. This article discusses the development of transport networks to support the changes in the Lampung region from the mid-19th century to the third decade of the 20th century. This study also explains the development of transport facilities in creating trans Java-Sumatra economic integration during the colonial period. This study aimed to reconstruct the financial history and transport networks of the Lampung region. This study provides a perspective on forming the trans-Sumatra transport network that made Lampung known as the "Gateway of Sumatra.” The study on "The Development of Transportation Network in Lampung (1859-1927)" was prepared using a historical method that included four stages of work: heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography. The development of integrated transport facilities in the Lampung region since the end of the war in 1856 has changed various aspects of the lives of the Lampung people. This study showed that the river has no longer become an essential part of the life of the Lampung people since the mid-19th century. Settlement patterns and economic activity centers located on the riverside began to change following the road and railway lines that were formed later.

Abstract

Many inscriptions from Pu Sindok's reign (929–948) can be discovered across eastern Java. The researchers have found 23 inscriptions with year dates that detail the laws that were in effect under Pu Sindok's rule. Policies are written in the inscriptions as sima makudur and sima punpunan. Because there are so many sources in these inscriptions, it is possible to recreate historical events under Pu Sindok's reign and assess his implemented policies. This article uses Robert K. Merton's functional analysis to examine Pu Sindok's policies. The outcomes of this article's descriptive qualitative research techniques and astabrata parameters are the manifest, latent, and dysfunctional functions of Pu Sindok's policies. Keywords: Pu Sindok; functional analysis; policies

Abstract

Riau Province is currently one of the largest rubber producing regions in Indonesia. Rubber was produced by two regencies, namely Indragiri Hulu and Kuantan Singingi, which during the Dutch colonial era were included in the Indragiri Afdeeling area, Riau Residency. The existence of rubber plantations in Riau can be traced to its historical roots. This paper aims to examine the history of rubber plantations in the Indragiri Afdeeling in the 1920s. Writing using historical research methods. From the study it can be concluded that rubber has been planted in the Indragiri Afdeeling since 1910 but grew rapidly in the 1920s. Rubber is exported directly to Singapore. The existence of rubber plantation has an impact on the regional socio-economic revival. Among them, the people of Indragiri became heterogeneous due to the large number of migrants working in rubber plantations. A few highways, houses, and markets were built. Sea and land transportation is more available. More and more residents of Indragiri are going on the pilgrimage and also sending their children outside the residential area to study. The economic revival caused by rubber plantations in Indragiri ended after the world economic depression known as the malaise began in 1929. The world price of rubber fell, and farmers were reluctant to plant rubber anymore. Keywords: history, rubber plantations, economic revival, Indragiri

Abstract

Dental calculus is defined as mineralized dental plaque that is formed through the complex interaction between saliva and bacteria which adhere to the surface of the teeth. The plaque contains sources of bacterial genetic material which has the potential to be a source of information on ancient human health. Genetic sequences in the form of DNA are generated through a series of DNA extraction and through preparation of calculus samples of prehistoric human teeth. This research was conducted to determine the result of the identification of bacterial DNA found from ancient human skeletal dental calculus. This research was conducted using a literature study method through a systematic approach by collecting articles through an electronic search engine that fits the inclusion and exclusion categories. Of the 8 articles that met the criteria, 6 were research articles and 2 were reviewed articles. Four articles examined disease in ancient humans from the extraction of dental calculus in the paleolithic to early neolithic periods, two articles examined samples comparing modern humans and prehistoric humans and two others were reviewed article. Research that uses analysis of dental calculus has the potential to produce some information on life in pre-historic times besides that this research is also beneficial in future research so that it can be said that DNA analysis research uses dental calculus as a time capsule, because in dental calculus store a lot of genetic material that has the potential to store a lot of important information.
