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 discusses the result of research on a manuscript called Chinese Chronicles on Sam Po Kong Temple found in a manuscript from Cirebon. This research used a historical method consisting of 4 stages: heuristics, criticism interpretation, and historiography using analytic descriptive method. This research aims to prove that the chronicles are as secondary historical evidence, not a primary one. These Chinese chronicles are a copy of the manuscript. It is estimated that the copy was made in the Dutch colonial era after 1928. The Chronicles tell the life of the Moslem Chinese in Nusantara, especially Java Island, after Cheng Ho’s voyage to Nusantara when it was still under Majapahit kingdom sovereignty.

Abstract

An abandoned heritage building that was built in 1901, known as Gedung Singa in the city of Surabaya, was listed for auction and the plan had raised protests from the heritage activists community. This concern was emanated by previous cases of demolition of protected heritage buildings as happened to Toko NAM, which are lamented by the heritage activists community who have become a major contributor in the effort of safeguarding heritage, including listed heritage objects. This shows the urgency of negotiating Gedung Singa’s significance to the people and of proposing an appropriate form of revitalization as to assure its sustainable preservation. This study uses exploratory literature study method and approaches the issue by using a theory known as Interaction Field Model. The result proposes a plan to turn Gedung Singa into a museum-restaurant showcasing returned heritage collections from the Netherlands as a way to strengthen the image of Surabaya as the city of heroes. Other collections that may be displayed are chosen objects in accordance to the thematic exhibitions which are arranged temporarily to accommodate interactions with the people.

Abstract

The environment of Lake Singkarak provides natural resources to be utilized by human around it by providing facilities that support their lives. In the water area, of course, boats are needed as a mode of transportation for fishermen. Likewise, markers of settled life in the form of settlements with traditional buildings including ‘Rumah Gadang’. This paper uses qualitative methods with inductive reasoning flows. Data was collected on primary (through observation, observation of object and environment, in-depth interviews) and secondary data. The steps in qualitative research are data collection, analysis, and data synthesis. The purpose of writing is to find out about the sustainability of wood culture on the shores of Lake Singkarak and the local wisdom of the community. The change in manufacture and utilization from dugout canoes to plank boats is an adaptation strategy to the scarcity of sources of Surian wood tree materials. The developed buildings and ornaments also depict the complexion of maritime life (in the lake environment). Nature is a source of inspiration in its motifs and coloring, such as the motif of ‘pucuak rabuang’ (young bamboo), flowers, leaves, fish, and the Dutch royal crown. This is a form of local wisdom of the community in adapting to environmental conditions.

Abstract

Before falling into the hands of the Dutch colonial government in the early 20th century, Bali was quite a foreign and restricted territory for Europeans. This condition slowly changed when the colonial government conquered the local Balinese kingdoms. Tigers' existence in Bali was later known through the records created by Europeans who studied nature and the local community there. This study aims to show the link between the conquest of Bali by the colonial government and the extinction of the Bali tiger. Through historical research methods to examine the literature sources used, this study shows that the expansion of colonial government influence in Bali also played a role in the process of extinction of the Bali tiger. The growth of private plantations in areas home to tigers further increases the potential for conflict between tigers and humans. Similar to Javan and Sumatran tigers, Bali tigers are also often hunted because they disturb and threaten plantation activities, as well as because they are a prey object for sport-hunting enthusiasts. Extinction is inevitable as a consequence of continuous hunting activities for this species.

Abstract

This article discuss the history of Bandung as a colonial city that was titled 'Schoemaker City' by famous architect H.P. Berlage who visited Bandung in late April 1923. The city of Bandung was being developed rapidly from the 1910s to the early 1920s with the work of well-known Dutch East Indies architects, including C.P. Wolff Schoemaker and Richard L.A. Schoemaker. They designed many public buildings in Bandung with their characteristic architectural styles. This research focuses on the history of Bandung and its image in relation to the architectural works of the Schoemaker brothers during 1915-1923 that impressed H.P. Berlage by using the historical method that consists of heuristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography, as well as the science of architecture. This article analyzes the history of the Schoemaker brothers' architectural works that were prominent in important areas and became part of the activities in Bandung City until titled 'Schoemaker City'. The Schoemaker brothers' architectural designs have a characteristic architectural style and became part of the colonial society's activities in important areas of Bandung City, which encouraged H.P. Berlage to title it 'Schoemaker City'.

Abstract

This research aims to reveal the Lawang Kori Gedongwani carving art in East Lampung, one of the areas in South Sumatra which since the early 17th century was the territory of the Banten Sultanate. Based on its current appearance, Lawang Kori is carved in the typical Bantenese art style that dominantly decorates pottery shards and tombstones at Banten Lama urban site. However, in certain details Lawang Kori also showed the influence of art from other regions in Java and Bali. To determine the existence of these artistic elements, research will focus on the forms and types of ornaments that were manifested in the Lawang Kori carvings, both in whole and in part. Therefore, direct observations were carried out in Gedongwani Village, Mergo Tigo District, East Lampung Regency, where Lawangkori was found. Identification of shapes and decorations produces very diverse decorative patterns. By focusing on the analysis on structure, construction and decorative elements in the form of geometric, floral and figurative motifs, Lawang Kori presented the characteristics strongly influenced by the decorative arts of Banten, East Java and Bali. Islamic art itself was the result of modifications from the Hindu-Buddhist period. Referring to historical sources and oral traditions, the Lawang Kori gate was probably made in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. The growth of port cities under the rule of the Javanese-Islamic polity stimulated the development of decorative arts in their area of influence. Islamic works of art themselves were the result of modifications from the Hindu-Buddhist period. In this case, Banten was an agent for the spread of Islamic art in the Lampung region, from its golden age to its decline in the early 19th century.

Abstract

This research examines the function of Panjang Port, Lampung as a port for exporting pepper commodities in the period 1923-1930. The purpose of the study is to analyze Panjang Port as a central point in the pepper distribution route from the interior of Lampung to the international market. This study uses a historical method by collecting colonial archive sources. This study explores the relationship between colonial government policies in the development of Panjang Port and the dynamics of the pepper trade. The results of the analysis show that Panjang Port not only functions as a location for pepper shipments, but also as part of the colonial economic system that benefits the colonial party. This finding emphasizes the important function of Panjang Port in the progress of the economy and trade, especially in the Lampung region, as well as economic development in the southern Sumatra region.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of cholera vaccination programs in Java between 1910 and 1912 through a qualitative historical approach based on a comprehensive review of primary and secondary sources, verified both internally and externally. It explores the development and administration of cholera vaccines among the population of the Dutch East Indies in the early twentieth century. The findings indicate that Java were highly vulnerable to cholera outbreaks, recording 72,013 cases and 56,309 deaths (73.7%) in 1910, primarily in major urban centers such as Semarang, Surabaya, Batavia, and Pasuruan. A.H. Nijland, Director of the Pasteur Institute, significantly advanced cholera vaccine research and advocated mass immunization as a governmental public health strategy. Following his recommendation, the colonial administration launched a large-scale vaccination campaign across endemic areas beginning in 1910. This initiative effectively reduced both incidence and mortality, with reported cases decreasing to approximately 9,500 and a mortality rate of 56.5% by 1911. The study concludes that mass vaccination represented a pivotal epidemiological intervention in mitigating cholera transmission and improving public health outcomes in the Dutch East Indies.

Abstract

This study examines Kathryn “Kitsie” Emerson’s role as a pioneer of simultaneous or spontaneous translation in wayang kulit performances from 2005 to 2023. The purpose of this study is to analyze Kathryn “Kitsie” Emerson’s strategy as a pioneer in simultaneous translation in wayang kulit performances. This research uses the historical method by collecting sources through in-depth interviews and related documents. The results of this study describe Kathryn “Kitsie” Emerson’s journey in studying wayang kulit performances to when she discovered and developed a strategy for simultaneous translation of wayang kulit performances for puppeteers performing in Indonesia and abroad. Kathryn “Kitsie” Emerson is a practitioner of Surakarta Javanese karawitan and a simultaneous translator of wayang kulit performances. She is from the United States. Kathryn “Kitsie” Emerson’s simultaneous translation strategy helps foreigners to understand live wayang kulit performances. However, Kathryn “Kitsie” Emerson’s role as a simultaneous interpreter of wayang kulit performances has never been discussed in any research. This study shows that Kathryn “Kitsie” Emerson’s strategy of simultaneous translation of wayang kulit performances has played a role in the dissemination of Javanese traditional performing arts to foreign countries.

Abstract

This article will discuss the process of land use change in Andir, the factors that led to the construction of the airstrip, and its impact on the surrounding environment and infrastructure. In 1904, the Andir area in Bandung was dominated by rice fields. It was in 1920 that it was decided to build the Andir Airfield, which was built for air defense purposes. The construction of the Andir Airfield had an impact on land use change in Andir. This research uses the historical method, including heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, utilizing maps, official documents, and colonial records as the main sources. The results show that the construction of Andir Airfield changed the land function from agricultural areas to aviation infrastructure, which triggered the development of new infrastructure in the area and had a significant impact on the environment.
