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

The museum is a dynamic institution and always developed according to its time. The development of the museum is intended so that the museum can always be accepted by the public. The display system of the museum is referred to as one of the most visible parts of the development of the museum because it has a crucial value and can be an indication of the condition of society at that time. Indonesia had experienced at least three periods of development, namely the colonial period, the independence period, and the post-reformation period (present). This question aims to see the compatibility between the participation of the museum and the development of the community. This article used two data, primary and secondary data. The primary data were obtained from direct observation, while secondary data was derived from a literature study. The data is then described, comparatively explanatively analyzed, and then interpreted. The results of the interpretation are then used to answer the questions posed. The conclusion obtained is that the exhibition system in the colonial period was associated with efforts to study Indonesian cultural objects, the exhibition system during the independence period was intended to spread the nation's ideology, and the post-reformation period emphasized the social role of museums to society. Keywords: museum; colonial; independence; post-reformation

Abstract

Batu Bedil cultural heritage in Lampung is one of the cultural heritage that needs to be preserved and maintained because there is a complex consisting of scratched stones, stone tables (dolmens), lumpang stones, and a number of inscription menhirs.  However, its conservation efforts still face various challenges, especially in terms of local community involvement. The implementation of participatory and interpersonal communication can be the right solution to overcome these challenges. This article discusses how the implementation of participatory and interpersonal communication can help preserve Batu Bedil cultural heritage in Lampung. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach through in-depth interviews and observations of local communities, conservationists, and other related parties. The results showed that the implementation of participatory and interpersonal communication is very important in building active participation of local communities in the Batu Bedil cultural heritage preservation program. Conservation actors consisting of local governments, educational institutions and research must be able to develop effective communication strategies and build good interpersonal relationships with local communities to create an environment conducive to the success of conservation programs. Thus, participatory and interpersonal communication is key in the preservation of Batu Bedil cultural heritage in Lampung Province. Keywords: Preservation, Batu Bedil, Cultural Heritage, Lampung

Abstract

The Ayam Téas I inscription is one of the ancient inscriptions in Indonesia. Currently, the condition of the inscription has undergone natural degradation, causing the letters and the written message to become more difficult to read. Among the natural forms of degradation are corrosion and erosion. One method that can be used to address this problem is by utilizing image processing technology in the form of imageJ software. The analysis process involves capturing images using a camera and then processing the images using imageJ software. This software provides a mode that can remove unnecessary colors due to lighting, allowing some of the writings on the Ayam Téas I inscription to become more visible. Keywords: imageJ; prasasti; Ayam Téas I; histogram; grayscale

Abstract

The presence of spring in Dompu Regency is an asset for the sustainability of natural resources and cultural resources in the surrounding area. This study aims to determine the conservation efforts of springs in the Dompu site area based on local wisdom and its current impact. This research utilizes ecological, isotope, and hydrochemical approaches. Data was collected through field observations and water sampling at the Riwo Spring. The data were analyzed using ecological, isotope, and hydrochemical approaches to samples of water followed by qualitative descriptive analysis. Based on the results of isotope and hydrochemical studies on the Riwo spring, it showed that the spring has good water quality, which means it is still suitable for consumption and this spring is young, so the balance of the surrounding environment is very important to maintain. The sustainability of springs is sought by applying local wisdom, one of which is leka dana. Leka dana can be used to determine policies for environmental conservation policy, conservation of forest catchment areas, and sustainable springs in Dompu Regency. Based on the results of the isotope and hydrochemical study result, it is recommended that in Riwo Spring areas and the surrounding forest, which served as recharge areas, should not be cleared for plantations or settlements. These recharge areas should be preserved and if necessary reforested. Keywords: spring conservation, archeology, natural isotopes, hydrochemistry, local wisdom

Abstract

This research uses a historical method consisting of heuristic stages, verification, interpretation and historiography, and uses a socioeconomic approach to explain chronologically the presence of the Pancur Batu market which then brings its development and influence on the welfare of the local community. The results showed that Pancur Batu Market was present since its area became part of the Deli tobacco plantation area centered in East Sumatra in 1872. The development was even more crowded in 1960 when a proposal was made by local residents to the regional government of Deli Hulu regarding the construction and expansion of the Pancur Batu market area in the form of adding stalls and los. In addition, the development of the Pancur Batu Market then has a significant influence on the negative direction in the form of traffic congestion because the Pancur Batu area is a link between the highlands and low flats and the condition of market waste is increasing, but from the positive side, there is a harmony of inter-ethnic relations in Pancur Batu and the increasing income of the population. Keywords: Pancur Batu, distribution of goods, market influence

Abstract

The Candi Agung site is one of the cultural landscapes in South Kalimantan. The value of this cultural landscape is closely related to living traditions, belief systems, art and literature. This cultural landscape also represents the symbols of mountains and water in the culture of the Banjar people. These two physical-naturalistic components not only describe the landscape of South Kalimantan which consists of the Meratus Mountains and the Barito River but also describe the cultural landscape of the people who inhabited it. This study discusses the meaning of mountains and water in the cultural landscape of the Candi Agung Site. The aim is to understand the Candi Agung Site as an associative cultural landscape in Banjar culture. In order to understand this, data collection was carried out through observations of the Candi Agung Site and the views of the surrounding community. A documentation study on the Lambung Mangkurat Museum collection was carried out to complete the observation data. The analysis was carried out by describing aspects of mountain and water symbolism in the Lambu Mangkurat Story and the Banjar Kings Dynasty and Waringin City or known as the Banjar Hikayat. Apart from that, descriptions were also made of literary works entitled Tutur Candi. The interpretive framework of this study refers to the view that culture is a symbol system. This study produces an understanding of the cultural system of the Banjar people which was represented in the myth of the sacredness of mountains and water. These two natural elements are representations of supernatural forces which were manifested in the toponymy "mountain" of Candi Agung and the anthroponymy of Tunjung Buih. The connection between the two also represents harmony between the microcosm and the macrocosm.   Key words: Environment, cultural landscape, microcosm, dualism

Abstract

The archaeological research in the Tambora Peninsula was initiated by the National Archaeological Research Center in 2006, and from 2008 onwards, it was continued by the Archaeological Office in Denpasar-Bali until 2021. Numerous archaeological pieces of evidence have been successfully excavated from Mount Tambora's pyroclastic material. Recent research has been focused on the Doro Bente Site on the Teluk Saleh Peninsula. The research aims to understand the sequence of historical events on settlement centers based on artifact evidence resulting from the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815. The study employs qualitative, descriptive methods, and a geoarchaeological approach. Data acquisition involves excavation, surveys, and literature studies. Stratigraphic analysis is conducted to identify sediment matrices and understand the deposition sequence. Excavation activities have uncovered significant artifacts such as ceramic fragments, pottery, animal bones, and shell fragments. Micro-scale deposition chronology in excavation box B28U18 indicates that the three lower layers, the oldest, were deposited in a marine environment, followed by five layers of pyroclastic material from the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora. The geographical factors and available natural resources make Sumbawa Island a focal point for Chinese and European attention from the 13th to the 19th centuries AD.

Abstract

Farming is one of the efforts made by humans to get food. Agricultural activities continue to experience development and dynamics starting from simple level to more complex level. The complexity of agricultural activities has been mentioned in inscriptions issued during the reign of the ancient Balinese kingdoms of the 9th to 15th centuries which was indicated by the existence of agriculture based on a regular pattern. This research focuses on discussing the implementation of taxes in the use of subak irrigation water both during the Ancient Bali period and today. The data collection process in this study includes literature review, interviews, and observation. The data that has been collected is then processed using a descriptive-qualitative analysis, this analysis emphasized on the quality of the description in its presentation. The ethnoarchaeological analysis is also used in this study, the purpose of which is to provide an analogy to the implementation of taxes in the subak area. The result of this study indicated that there were conceptual similarities between rotting banyu and suwinih which is a form of implementation of water tax on paddy field management. Keywords: rotting banyu; suwinih; irrigaton; subak gede pulagan-kumba

Abstract

Various questions arise in the community, whether this OṀ-kāra is a product of Balinese culture or whether this script is a derivative of OM-kāra from India. This research raises the question of how is the origin and evolution of the OṀ-kāra script in Bali? This research data was collected through a literature study and supplemented by interviews. The results of this research are in the form of the history of the script that developed in Bali, namely Pre-Nagari and Ancient Bali including Bali Lumrah which was used to write down the origin and evolution of the sacred script OṀ-kāra in Bali. Based on the results of this study, it is known that this sacred script was derived through two scripts in Bali in the VIIIth/ IXth centuries, namely Pre-Nagari and Ancient Balinese, which were derivatives of the Brahmi script. However, this sacred script has not envolved after the VIIIth century in the pre-Nagari script. Instead, what is seen in its evolution is the sacred OṀ-kāra script written using the Balinese Lumrah script, which is a derivative of the Old Balinese script, from the niskala to the birth of creation theology.  Based on the evolution of this sacred script, it is known that OṀ-kāra is a sacred script as a symbol of God/ Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa who niskala, then from the niskala, evolved into the nature of niskala-sakala, Nirguna-Saguna, Paramasiwa-Sadasiwa.
