Abstract

Mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA(s) are inherited maternally, in other words they can only be inherited through females in a family, which makes them frequently used in forensic studies. In this research, the Hypervariable-I part (HV-1) in the D-Loop region of the ancient forensic samples acquired from Lore Highlands will be compared with present day human DNA from the same region. The steps conducted in this research includes DNA extraction, mtDNA amplification with specific primers, sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis. The analysis were done between 4 ancient forensic samples; A, B, G, and J, and 33 comparison sequences from GenBank, including ancient forensic sample acquired from Tadulako site, Lore Highlands, from previous research. The result of genetic distance analysis showed that the distance between 37 samples were very close; with difference ranging from 0,02% - 0,13%. The analysis also gives a clue about Austronesian relation with Australomelanesian. The result from phylogenetic tree reconstructions (maximum-likelihood and neighbor-joining) showed little differences. However, there is a small significant difference detected from the neighbour-joining tree construction result and will be discussed further in this paper.

Abstract

The Padangratu area have landforms formed as a result of natural and human activities. Within the Padangratu area, archaeological remains made from various materials are scattered. The problem is the shape of the land and materials in the Padangratu area. The method used is a qualitative method with exploratory and descriptive research types. The results of the research show that in the Padangratu area there are megalithic buildings and artifacts spread across the Jurun, Langkat, Putor, Tanjung and Tanjung Mandak sites. These sites are spread across the plateau at an altitude of 0 to 1000 meters above sea level. Putor, Langkat and Tanjung hamlets are at an altitude of 500 masl to 750 masl, while Jurun Hamlet is at an altitude of 750 masl to 1000 masl. This location is on a very gentle slope (3%-7%) to quite steep (14%-20%), especially in an area where the erosion rate is very low. In the Padangratu area, 47 flat stones, 3 dolmens, 1 stone bracelet, 1 stone mortar were found which were generally made of tuff. Apart from that, stone mortars made of pumice, square axes made of chalcedony, obsidian fragments and clay pottery containers were found. These materials are volcanic materials obtained from the area around Lake Ranau. Apart from that, the Padangratu area is located in the stratifigraphy of the Ranau rock formation which contains tufa, pumice and clay materials.

Abstract

Several structural stones were discovered during research in 1995 – 2004 in Behoa Valley that, if a line is drawn, would form a rectangular polygon with two types of stone, large and small. In 2013, researchers conducted an ethno-architectural study at three megalithic cultural heritage sites in Hanggira Village. The aim is to find out the function of these structured stones. From the results of the ethno-architecture analysis, these structured stones are umpak foundations from dwellings or residential places (Tambi) or places to store special goods or agricultural products (Buho). There is no absolute chronology in the context of the structured stones in the form of umpak foundations. However, from the age of the site, it is expected that these stone umpak foundations had been used since the beginning of the AD century (early metal period) to the protohistoric period.

Abstract

The Behoa Valley Area is one of megalithic cultural heritage from the early metal era (paleometallic) and the supporting communities was already familiar with technology of pottery creation. The discovery of pottery fragments dominates each research carried out in this site. This paper aims to understand the source of the pottery materials by comparing modern pottery materials used by the current community around the site. Total of 26 samples were used, consist of 24 pottery fragments sampled from sites in The Behoa Valley area, one pottery fragment sampled from Pangawumbu, and one pottery fragment sampled from craftsman in Doda village. Method of analysis used in this research is chemical element analysis, conducted towards the clay matrix and carried out microscopically using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Chemical element analysis of the clay matrix are used to understand the pottery clusters based on chemical element composition contained in the clay matrix. Pottery clusters then discovered from statistical analysis using Principal Component Analysis and Hierarchical Clustering Analysis methods. Based on the result of the chemical elements analysis, it is revealed that pottery material from the sites in The Behoa Valley area has similarity with pottery material from craftsman around the site.

Abstract

So far, numerous studies have investigated the Gilimanuk site's archaeological remains. This study seeks to use evidence of occupational stress in human skeletal remains to provide an overview of the physical activities that likely occurred at the Gilimanuk site. A total of 212 long bone samples were examined for markers of occupational stress. These pathological alterations could provide an explanation for certain physical activities. The results suggest that the type of human physical activity observed at the site is not closely related to seafaring activities. These findings are then integrated with other data such as artifacts, ecofacts, and the environmental setting to discuss the interaction of the human occupation of the Gilimanuk site with the surrounding environment.

Abstract

“Socializing” Living Megalithic: The Charm of the Past that Still Exists. The living megalithic sites and cultures in Indonesia such as Nias, Toraja, Sumba, Sabu, Ngada, and Ende are exotic attractions both from scientific perspective and from the point of view of public attractions as cultural items. The scientific side requires academic explanation about their cultural processes since their initial emergence ± 2,500 years ago up to now. Meanwhile, “socializing” living megalithic culture is due to its charm as the “window to the past,” which is rarely the case with other types of archaeological remains. To see and enjoy living megalithic culture are spectacular from the point of view of cultural tourism, especially the process of building a megalithic structure using simple traditional techniques without modern technology. Such experience will enhance the value of cultural tourism. Therefore living megalithic traditions need to be socialized to the general public. Situs dan budaya megalitik berlanjut (living megalithic) yang ada di Indonesia seperti Nias, Toraja, Sumba, Sabu, Ngada, dan Ende memiliki daya tarik eksotis, baik bagi ilmu pengetahuan maupun untuk dinikmati khalayak ramai sebagai sebuah tampilan budaya. Segi-segi ilmiah tetap menuntut penjelasan akademis tentang proses budaya sejak diperkirakan muncul sebelum Tarikh Masehi hingga mampu bertahan sampai saat ini, sementara “memasyarakatkan” budaya megalitik yang masih hidup merupakan sebuah pesona tersendiri, karena merupakan “window to the past”, yang jarang terjadi pada tinggalan arkeologis. Melihat dan menikmati budaya megalitik yang masih berlanjut adalah sebuah atraksi wisata budaya yang sangat luar biasa, apalagi ketika menyentuh tata cara pendirian bangunan megalitik dengan teknik-teknik sederhananya, saat teknologi modern tidak digunakan. Situasi seperti ini akan memberi nilai wisata budaya yang tinggi, dengan daya tarik tersendiri, sehingga living megalithic perlu dimasyarakatkan.

Abstract

Panataran Temple was a state temple of the Majapahit Kingdom, which was built on a piece of land that had the potency to be sacred because there was an inscription, the Palah inscription, from the Kadiri period. The inscription is about devotion to Bhatara ri Palah. Based on a date found within the temple complex, it is assumed that at least the Panataran Temple was functioned since the reigning periods of King Jayanagara until Queen Suhita. During the Majapahit period, the Panataran Temple was a temple dedicated to Paramasiwa, who was known by various names, the highest tattwa in Siwasiddhanta religion. In fact, there is a possibility that a Kadewaguruan (centre of religious teachings) was built around the temple complex, but the exact location is yet to be found. The Panataran Temple was the “spiritual centre” of the Majapahit Kingdom. Candi Panataran adalah candi kerajaan (State Temple) Kerajaan Majapahit, didirikan di sebuah tanah yang berpotensi sakral karena di tempat itu terdapat prasasti Palah dari jaman Kadiri, berisi tentang pemujaan Bhatara ri Palah. Berdasarkan angka tahun yang ditemukan di kompleks candi, setidaknya Candi Panataran dipakai sejak pemerintahan Raja Jayanagara hingga Ratu Suhita. Pada jaman Majapahit, Candi Panataran adalah candi untuk memuja Paramasiwa yang disebut dengan berbagai nama, tattwa tertinggi dalam agama Siwasiddhanta. Bahkan ada kemungkinan sebuah Kadewaguruan (tempat pendidikan agama) dibangun di sekitar kompleks candi, tetapi dimana kepastian letaknya, belum jelas. Candi Panataran adalah “pusat spiritual” kerajaan Majapahit.

Abstract

One of the Balai Arkeologi Bandung’s research programs in the period of 2000 – 2014 is about the peaks of civilization on the northern coast of West Java. This study diachronically puts emphasis on Proto-historic, Classical, and Islamic communities. Regarding the problems among the Classical communities, this study was based on preliminary data that there was a centre of civilization at Karawang which initial background was Hindu, and later Buddhism also developed. Meanwhile, during previous investigation was obtained data on the existence of Hindu communities in the interior parts of West Java. Based on results of research in 2009 at Karawang Regency and Purwakarta as well as in 2010 at Subang Regency, we came to the conclusion that the Hindu communities that originally lived on the north coast, after being pressured by the Buddhist communities, moved to the interior and eventually managed to build a centre of civilization in the inland of West Java. Salah satu program penelitian Balai Arkeologi Bandung pada periode 2009 – 2014 adalah mengenai puncak-puncak peradaban di pantai utara Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini secara diakronis ditekankan pada masyarakat Protosejarah, masyarakat masa Klasik, dan masyarakat masa Islam. Khusus pada permasalahan masyarakat masa Klasik, penelitian didasarkan pada data awal bahwa di Karawang terdapat pusat peradaban yang mula-mula berlatarkan pada agama Hindu kemudian berkembang pula agama Buddha. Sementara itu pada penelitian sebelumnya telah didapatkan data mengenai keberadaan masyarakat Hindu di pedalaman Jawa Barat. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan pada tahun 2009 di Kabupaten Karawang, dan Purwakarta serta pada 2010 di Kabupaten Subang diperoleh simpulan bahwa masyarakat Hindu yang semula berada di pantai utara, setelah mendapat tekanan dari masyarakat Buddha, mereka melakukan perpindahan ke pedalaman dan akhirnya berhasil membangun pusat peradaban di pedalaman Jawa Barat.
