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

The purpose of this article is to identify the forms and applications of social capital in supporting museum management, thus creating a dynamic social space at the Bumiayu Archaeological Museum. This research was conducted using qualitative methods, employing a descriptive-analytical approach. Data collection was conducted through field observations, semi-structured interviews, and literature reviews. The results show that the Bumiayu Archaeological Museum can optimize social capital well so that it can properly organize museum activities independently. The museum can seize opportunities for collaboration with various cross-sectors, both government and academic institutions, thus creating a museum social space as an educational, creative, and participatory tool.

Abstract

This paper investigates the paradigm shifts in art from the Renaissance to the contemporary digital age, emphasizing how technological innovation has redefined the value, function, and perception of art. During the Renaissance, art embodied humanistic ideals and served as a medium of communication between the artist and the audience through form, symbolism, and mastery of technique. In contrast, the advent of machines, robotics, and artificial intelligence has transformed the processes of creation, authorship, and aesthetic judgment. These developments challenge traditional notions of artistic authenticity and raise questions about the evolving relationship between human creativity and algorithmic generation. By tracing the historical continuum from the Renaissance’s pursuit of perfection to the AI era’s pursuit of simulation and automation, this study critically examines how the meaning and worth of art have been renegotiated. It concludes by calling for a re-examination of art education to sustain authenticity and critical engagement in an age where human and machine creativity increasingly intersect.

Abstract

Folklore is one of the cultural products that often underlie the existence of an archaeological site, one of which is the Umang folklore that frames the archaeological site of the Umang Cave in Tanjung Pulo, Tiganderket District, Karo Regency, North Sumatra Province. This study aims to descriptively outline the archaeological aspects of Umang cave tanjung pulo, the folklore that forms the background story of the cave’s existance, as well as the relationship between the two. The methods used include observation (object description, measurement, documentation, and environmental observation); an ethnographic approach through interviews, and literature review. The result of this research are: the umang folklore that developed among the Karo people is part of the Nusantara folklore. Specifically in Sumatera, such supernatural beings are generally known as bunian. The Umang Cave in Tanjung Pulo has similarities with other Umang Caves, and the existing relief carvings provide an ilustration of its fuction. Currently, the Karo people no longer regard The Umang Cave as part of their cultural heritage, but rather view it as an object related to the supernatural being called umang.
