Abstract

Abstrak. Barus terkenal dari Asia Barat sampai Cina sebagai tempat perdagangan kuno untuk kamper dan emas sejak paling tidak pertengahan milenium pertama Masehi. Penelitian arkeologi yang telah dijalankan dari tahun 1995 hingga tahun 2005 di Barus, dalam rangka kerjasama Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Arkeologi Nasional dengan École française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO), menunjukkan hubungan yang berlangsung lama antara Persia dan Nusantara. Ekskavasi di situs Lobu Tua khususnya menghasilkan sejumlah artefak asal Persia dari batu dan kaca, serta sejumlah pecahan tembikar yang dipakai di Barus antara pertengahan abad ke-9 M dan akhir abad ke-I 1. Walaupun analisis mengenai hasil penggalian di situs Bukit Hasang (abad ke-12 hingga awal abad ke-16) belum selesai, sudah jelas bahwa pemakaian benda-benda permanen asal wilayah Timur Tengah pada umumnya menurun drastis di situs tersebut dibandingkan dengan Lobu Tua. Tetapi dua batu nisan dari akhir abad ke-14 dan awal abad ke-15, yang bertuliskan Bahasa Persia atau menggunakan tata bahasa Persia, merupakan bukti bahwa hubungan dengan Persia tidak putus sama sekali. Kata kunci: Barus, Persia, Kaca, Tembikar Abstract. Traces of Persian Culture at Barrus. From the middle of the first millenium C.E., or even before, Barus has been known as a trading mart for camphor and gold. Archaeological researches conducted in Barus from 1995 until 2005, as part of the cooperation program between The National Research and Development Centre of Archaeology, Indonesia and École française d'Extrême-Orient (EFEO), highlight the ancient relation between Persia and the Indonesia archipelago. A number of artefacts coming for Persia, made of stone and glass, as well as pottery, were collected during the excavations of the Lobu Tua site (mid-9th c.-end of the 11th c). Although analyses of the finds collected during the excavations at the Bukit Hasang site ( 12th c- beg. of the 16th c.) are not completed yet, it is clear that at that time Barus experienced a great decline in the use of objects made of permanent material coming from the Middle East. But two inscribed tombstones, dating to the end of the 14th c. and to beginning of the 15th c, using Persian language or grammar prove that relation with Persia were not completely severed.

Abstract

ABSTRAK. Situs Batujaya yang terletak di Desa Segaran, Kecamatan Batujaya, Kabupaten Kerawang, Provinsi Jawa Barat, merupakan sebuah kompleks percandian yang memanfaatkan tanah liat di sekitarnya sebagai bahan utama pembuatannya. Masyarakat pendukung kompleks percandian ini sudah mengenal teknologi pengolahan tanah liat menjadi bata untuk bahan pembuatan candi dan teknologi pembuatan wadah-wadah dari tanah liat bakar. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan hampir seluruh unur (14 buah) candi mempergunakan bahan bata dan banyaknya temuan tembikar disekitar kompleks percandian, baik dalam keadaan utuh maupun dalam pecahan. Hasil analisis laboratorium terhadap beberapa sampel tembikar dari situs ini memperlihatkan sifat-sifat fisik dan komposisi unsur kimia yang sangat bervariasi dalam kekerasan, berat jenis, porositas, serapan air, dan suhu pembakaran. Kualitas tembikar juga sangat bervariasi, dipengaruhi oleh kondisi bahan baku dan tingkat penguasaan teknologi pembuatannya. Kata kunci: Artefak tanah liat bakar, Situs Batujaya, analisis sifat fisik dan kimia. ABSTRACT. The use of Baked Clay at the of Blandongan and Jiwa Temples at Batujaya Temple Complex, Karawang Regency, West Java Province: Study on Row Material of Artifacts Based on Laboratory Analyses. The site of Batujaya, which is located at at the Segaran Village, Batujaya District, Karawang Regency, West Java Province, is a complex of temples (candies) that use clay from the surrounding environment as their main raw material. The people of Batujaya have mastered the technology of brick-making to build the temples and pottery making. This is proven by the fact that almost all of the 14 candis used baked clay and by the abundance of pottery found around the temple complex, both intact and fragmented ones. Result of laboratory analyses on some pottery samples from this site show physical characteristics and compositions of chemical elements, which are varied in terms of hardness, specific gravity, porosity, water absorption, and baking temperature. The quality of the pottery is also varied, depending on the condition of the raw material and the level of technological mastery of the potters. Keyword: artifacts made of baked clay, Batujaya site, analysis of physical characteristics and chemical analysis.

Abstract

ABSTRAK. Selain tato yang menghiasi seluruh tubuh, cawat yang dibuat dari kulit kayu, yang dikenal dengan nama lokal kabit, merupakan salah satu identitas Suku Mentawai di Sumatra Barat. Kabit ini dahulu merupakan pakaian sehari-hari mereka, akan tetapi saat ini, hanya saman (sikerey) atau orang yang sedang berburu yang memakainya. Cawat ini dibuat dari kulit kayu pohon besar, yang dipukul-pukul dengan pemukul kayu (panasalat), kemudian digunakan setelah selesai disiapkan. Di kalangan Suku Mentawai, kabit sebagai pakaian kulit kayu telah menjadi tradisi panjang mereka sejak masa prasejarah hingga saat ini. Pakaian kulit kayu tidak pernah ditemukan dari situs-situs neolitik, tentu saja karena telah lapuk, tetapi melalui penemuan-penemuan pemukul kulit kayu yang dibuat dari batu di Situs Minanga Sipakko (Sulawesi Selatan) dan beberapa situs di Kalimantan, merupakan bukti dari pemakaian pakaian kulit kayu ini pada periode neolitik. Oleh karenanya, pembuatan cawat (kabit) di kalangan Suku Mentawai merupakan sebuah jendela masa lalu untuk melihat ke belakang, bagaimana manusia prasejarah membuat pakaian kulit kayu mereka pada sekitar 4.000 tahun yang lalu. Katakunci: Mentawai, Pakaian Kulit Kayu, Identitas, Prasejarah, Etnoarkeologi ABSTRACT. The Tradition of Bark Cloth Kabit (Loin Cloth) Making at Mentawai, West Sumatera. Apart from tattoos that decorated the whole body, the loincloth made from a tree bark known as kabit, is one of strong identities of the tribe of Mentawai in West Sumatra. This kabit was formerly used to be their daily cloth, but recently, only a shaman (sikerey) or hunting people wearing this bark cloth. It is made of a bark of a big tree, beaten by a beater called panasalat, then used simplify when it is prepared. The existence of this kabit as a kind of bark cloth among the people of Mentawai is a long tradition from their prehistoric ancestor that still survives up to the present day. This bark cloth was never discovered from the Neolithic sites, certainly because of decaying process, but the occasionally discovery of its beaters, made from the stone in Minanga Sipakko (South Sulawesi) and some sites in Kalimantan, proved their utilization during the period of Neolithic. For this reason, the making of loincloth, kabit, among the Mentawai people is a window to look at how the prehistoric man made their bark cloth some 4,000 years ago.

Abstract

Abstrak. Tulisan ini membahas hasil studi tentang sumber bahan baku artefak obsidian yang ditemukan di Gua Pawon, Dago, dan Bukit Karsamanik, Bandung. Analisis dilakukan terhadap sejumlah artefak obsidian, temuan ekskavasi di Gua Pawon dan temuan permukaan di Situs Dago dan Bukit Karsamanik. Untuk perbandingan dilakukan juga analisis terhadap obsidian dari Gunung Kendan di Nagrek dan Kampung Rejeng di Garut, dua lokasi sumber obsidian di Jawa Barat. Analisis dilakukan dengan cara "scanning electron microscope", menggunakan "energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer" di Universitas Sains Malaysia, Penang dan "electron microprobe" di Universitas Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. Analisis multielemen dan perhitungan statistic dilakukan terhadap data yang diperoleh dari artefak dan bahan. Hasil studi memperlihatkan artefak obsidian dari Gua Pawon menggunakan bahan dari Gunung Kendan dan Kampung Rejeng, sementara artefak Dago dan Bukit Karsamanik belum diketahui sumbernya. Analisis terhadap bahan dari sumber-sumber lain sangat diperlukan untuk menentukan variabilitas di dalam dan di antarasumber-sumber yang berbeda. Untuk sementara, hasil studi memperlihatkan manusia prasejarah Gua Pawon mengeksploitasi dan menggunakan sumber-sumber obsidian yang sama selama beberapa ribu tahun. Kata kunci: analisis obsidian, gua pawon, dago, karsamanik, scanning electron microscope, x-ray spectrometer. Abstract. This paper presents the results of a study to determine whether the obsidian artifacts found in Gua Pawon, Dago and Bukit Karsamanik in Bandung came from the well-known sources of Gunung Kendan in Nagreg, Kampung Rejeng in Garut or elsewhere. Obsidian artifacts for this study were obtained from earlier archaeological excavations at Gua Pawon and from chance finds at the sites of Dago and Bukit Karsamanik in Bandung. Samples of obsidian were also collected from the known obsidian sources in Gunung Kendan in Nagreg and Kampung Rejeng in Garut for comparative purposes. Analyses of these samples were done on a scanning electron microscope using the energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer at the University of Science Malaysia, Penang and the electron microprobe at the University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur. Multi-element analysis was undertaken, and statistical procedures were performed on data obtained from the artifacts and the sources. The results of the study thus far suggested that the obsidian artifacts from Gua Pawon were made using obsidian obtained from both Gunung Kendan and Kampung Rejeng sources while those from Dago and Bukit Karsamanik have yet to be determined. More samples from all the known obsidian sources are needed to determine the variability within and between all the different sources. Temporally, the study also revealed that prehistoric humans at Gua Pawon exploited or used the same obsidian resources over several thousands of years. Keywords: pawon cave, dago, karsamanik, scanning electron microscope, x-ray spectrometer.
