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

This article examines the elements of maritime literature in the locality of North Bali, based on the source Babad Buleleng. Babad Buleleng chronicles the early dynasty of kings who ruled the Buleleng region. Buleleng is a strategic area in North Bali and has often been involved in economic, political, and multicultural interactions. This paper uses a textual study approach with an interpretive method. Based on the study conducted, it was found that maritime values are deeply embedded in Babad Buleleng. The identified aspects include navigation, trade, cultural contacts and maritime safety. These aspects have influenced the socio-cultural life of the community until today. Through these maritime aspects, it can be stated that Buleleng has been a strong maritime locus in Bali in the past. This value can be optimized to build maritime awareness and identity of Bali's maritime people, especially in North Bali, to reposition the sea as an important axis in the economic and socio-cultural life of the community, based on the wisdom of classical literary works inherited to this day.

Abstract

Simbur Cahaya manuscript is a customary law originating from the government of Palembang Lamo, precisely in the 17th century, and was applied in the interior regions of Palembang. During the Dutch colonial period, the Dutch Assistant Resident Van den Bossche successfully completed the codification of the Simbur Cahaya law in 1854. This law was subsequently revised multiple times, including in the years 1862, 1873, 1875, 1876, 1890, 1894, 1897, 1913, 1922, 1927, and 1939. An analysis using artificial intelligence (AI) has revealed a unique feature of this manuscript: all legal violations in society were sanctioned with fines in the form of ringgit. This paper aims to explore how ringgit was used as a fine to punish members of society who violated the rules. The focus of this study is to trace how ringgit was applied as a sanction for legal offenders. The research employs historical research methods, including heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, with the primary source being the Simbur Cahaya manuscript codified by the Dutch in 1922 and 1927. The novelty of this study lies in the use of artificial intelligence to interpret the Simbur Cahaya manuscript as the primary source of research. Based on the analysis, it was found that all social punishments recorded in the Simbur Cahaya manuscript for individuals who violated the rules were always accompanied by fines in the form of ringgit, ranging from a minimum of half a ringgit to a maximum of six ringgit.

Abstract

Payakumbuh is one of the colonial cities developed by the Netherland East Indies Government in the Residency Sumatra’s Westkust. This research aims to explain the history of Payakumbuh's development since it was established as the Capital of Afdeeling Limapuluh Kota until the influence of the colonial urban planning concept on its modern spatial development. The method used in this research is a desk study, with data collection from maps, photos, newspapers, and related documents from colonial era, which are then verified through field surveys.  The results revealed five main types of infrastructure built in Payakumbuh during the colonial period, reflecting the city's function as an administrative and trading centre. The urban planning of Payakumbuh at that time was divided into three main zones: the core zone that functioned as the centre of government and trade, the buffer zone that included community service facilities and the local community settlement zone located on the outskirts of the city. The current development of Payakumbuh shows spatial adaptation that retains some colonial elements, but with functions that have been adjusted to modern needs. This research concludes that the Netherland East Indies colonial concept of urban planning has a significant influence on the development of Payakumbuh City until today.

Abstract

This research examines the conservation of heritage buildings based on ownership status of the Oudetrap and Spiegel buildings in the Old Town of Semarang during the period 2015-2022. The purpose of the research is to analyze the implementation of cultural heritage building conservation of the Oudetrap and Spiegel buildings from different ownership statuses. This research employs historical methods by collecting sources through in-depth interviews and several related conservation archives. This research takes two examples of building conservation, namely the Spiegel Building as one of the private properties that has been successfully revitalized since 2012 with clear and consistent ownership and repurposing into a commercially oriented building by 2015, and the Oudetrap Building as the only asset of the Semarang City government in the area managed for public interest, which also tends to prioritize historical value. This research shows that the ownership status of a building plays a significant role in determining the direction of conservation policies and the sustainability of cultural heritage preservation. This research is also complemented by a collaboration model between building owners, the government, and the community to create a balanced approach to the conservation of cultural heritage buildings, balancing historical value and preservation efforts. .

Abstract

This article discusses the style and iconography of the statues from Candi Jago, consisting of Amoghapāśa and his attendants, and their later copies. It departs from the notion that the new transmission of esoteric Buddhism in the thirteenth century from Northeast India to Java brought along iconographic programs as well as artistic elements. However, the problem of whether such artistic influence can be attested remains disputed among scholars. Using both formal and comparative analysis of the statues’ photographic reproduction, this paper re-examines the style of the Amoghapāśa maṇḍala assembly to unravel the problem of locating the Pāla influence. It begins by tracing the development of the cult of Amoghapāśa and its eight-armed form, following the notion of the movement of Buddhist masters seeking refuge to explain its re-emergence in the thirteenth-century Java. Finally, it elaborates on the theories concerning the style of Candi Jago statues and their later copies related to the presence of Pāla style elements. It concludes that the so-called Pāla elements on the statues reflect the creative force of Javanese artisans in incorporating these new elements into their artworks.

Abstract

This paper aims to present theoretical findings related to the translation field in relation to efforts to reveal the value of the intangibility of cultural artifacts in the form of craft products. The theoretical findings here are ideas obtained when carrying out re-readings that are being carried out (work-in-progress) based on the findings of two previous studies on the manifestation of artifacts that focus on the aspect of human-technology interaction and its interpretation. The re-reading of the two previous research findings is qualitative interpretative in nature that focuses on the translation mode in the process of producing craft products. This re-reading attempts to find the position of the translation field as a complement to awareness when revealing the value of the intangibility of craft products. The findings of this re-reading are expected to be an inspiration for developing a tool that can assist in research activities into craft products and/or cultural artifacts based on the dynamics of cultural translation.

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

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.
