Abstract

ABSTRAK Upaya pengelolaan warisan budaya di situs arkeologi pada masa sekarang, harus memperhatikan makna sosial (sosial significance) bagi masyarakat sekitarnya. Konsekuensi pemahaman tersebut, menuntut adanya sesuatu perubahan kebijakan (advokasi), mengalihposisikan penduduk di sekitar situs yang semula sebagai objek menjadi subjek. Perubahan kebijakan tersebut, mengubah peran penduduk di sekitar situs bukan sebagai pihak yang dikontrol dan dikuasai, melainkan sebagai mitra yang sejajar dengan pihak pengelola warisan budaya, agar asset yang dimiliki memberikan kontribusi balik baik material maupun non material yang berguna untuk kehidupanya. Upaya mewujudkan konsep pengelolaan yang menempatkan warisan budaya pada kontesks sosial, menuntut dikembangkanya pendekatan partisipatif yang lebih berorientasi pada masyarakat (community-oriented). Implementasi pendekatan tersebut, diwujudkan melalui pemberdayaan. Makna pemberdayaan adalah, pertanggungjawaban sosial arkeologi terhadap masyarakat, yang terkena dampak baik langsung maupun tidak langsung akibat pengembangan situs. Kata kunci: Pemberdayaan, masyarakat, pengelolaan, pertanggungjawaban arkeologi, makna sosial. ABSTRACT. The Empowerment of Community Around Archaeological Site In the effort to manage cultural heritages nowdays, it is important to take into account the social significance of a site to its surrounding communities. As a consequence, we are required to make an advocacy (change of policy) to revise the position of the local inhabitants around a site from being an object to a subject. Such change of policy is significant to change the position of the local inhabitants within the site area from the controlled party into equal partner. Communities should be involved in the process of cultural heritage management so that the valuable asset will give back good contribution- both materially and non-materially – which will be of benefited to the well-being of cultural heritage and its surrounding communities. The effort to implement the management concept that places cultural heritage in sosial context, calls for the importance of developing participative approach, which is more community oriented. The implementation of this type of approach is through community empowerment. Empowerment means the social responsibility of archaeology to the communities that have to put up, directly, with the effects of development of site. Key words: empowerment, community, management, archaeological responsibility, social meaning.

Abstract

ABSTRAK Kawasan Kerinci merupakan salah satu lokasi yang memiliki keanekaragaman warisan budaya masa lampau. Secara administrative, kawasan ini berada di Kabupaten Kerinci, Provinsi Jambi. Wilayah ini pada masa sekarang masih tergolong daerah terpencil akibat sarana transportasi dan komunikasi yang terbatas. Kondisi geografis yang bergunung dan berbukit dengan danau dan anak-anak sungai merupakan faktor penyebab utama sektor pertanian (berladang, berkebun) menjadi andalan pendapatan daerah. Informasi tentang sumberdaya arkeologi di Jambi dapat dikatakan sangat sedikit dijumpai, baik dalam buku pelajaran sekolah, leaflet informasi budaya dan pariwisata, maupun yang dikeluarkan pemerintah daerah atau lembaga terkait di pusat. Namun cukup membuktikan bahwa daerah Jambi memiliki potensi sumberdaya budaya materi sejak masa prasejarah (mesolitik) sampai masa kolonial. Salah satu wilayah Jambi, yaitu di kawasan sekitar Danau Kerinci, sampai kini masih dijumpai bukti sumberdaya budaya materi yang memiliki karakter dari masa prasejarah. Oleh karena itu penelitian untuk mengungkapkan sejarah asal budaya di Jambi dalam hubungannya dengan penutur dan budaya Austronesia menjadi penting untuk dikaji dengan perspektif arkeologi. Kata Kunci: Potensi situs, Kawasan, Budaya Austronesia ABSTRACT. Archaeological Sites Potential on Kerinci Region, Jambi: Icon of Austronesia Culture Kerinci region is a location that has a diversity of cultural heritages of the past. Administratively, this area is located in Kerinci Regency, Jambi Province (formerly part of west Sumatra). This area today is still relatively remote due to limited transportation and communication facilities. Geographical conditions and steep mountainous with lakes and tributaries are the main factors driving the agricultural sector (farming, gardening) as the main regional income. Informations about archaeological resources from the early history of the cultural heritage in Jambi can are very rarely found in school books, leaflet of culture and tourism information, eventhough local government or related institutional in the central. But there was supporting evidence that the area of Jambi has the potency of cultural heritage since prehistoric (Mesolithic) to the Colonial periods. In one area of Jambi, which is around Kerinci region, until now can still be found evidences of material culture with prehistoric characters. There are remains of archaeological sites in the Lakes Kerici region from prehistoric times (Mesolithic until Palaeometalic) to indicate the beginning of civilization in communities that already have the technology (equipment), social organization, beliefs and so on. Therefore, research to express the historical values of cultural origin of Jambi in connection with the Austronesian speaking and culture is important to examine using Archaeological perspectives. Key words: Sites Potential, Region, Culture of Austronesia

Abstract

ABSTRAK Cekungan Soa adalah sebuah dataran rendah berbentuk lembah yang terjadi karena letusan gunungapi purba pada Kala Pliosen sehingga membentuk kaldera. Pada Kala Pleistosen, kondisi cekungan berubah menjadi sebuah danau besar dengan lingkungan yang subur, sehingga telah mengunadang berbagai mahluk hidup (manusia dan binatang) datang dan menghuni di sekitar lingkungan danau tersebut. berdasarkan bukti-bukti temuan artefak dan ekofak yang didapatkan dalam penelitian, kehidupan purba di wilayah ini diduga telah berlangsung sejak Kala Pleistosen Bawah – awal Pleistosen Tengah. Wilayah Cekungan Soa merupakan kompleks situs purba yang kaya akan artefak dan fosil fauna. Walaupun belum menemukan sisa manusianya, namun penemuan himpunan artefak dan fosil-fosil fauna (antara lain Stegodon, budaya, komodo, kura-kura darat dan sejenis tikus besar) di berbagai situs di Cekungan Soa sudah diperkuat dengan data pertengahan absolut, sehingga dapat diketahui umurnya secara pasti. Di wilayah Cekungan Soa ini telah ditemukan minimal 15 lokasi/situs yang mengandung temuan alat-alat batu Paleolitik yang berasosiasi dengan fosil-fosil tulang vertebrata. Cekungan Soa yang mempunyai luas ± 35 x 22 kilometer dan terletak sekitar 15 kilometer di timur laut kota Bajawa (Ibukota Kabupaten Ngada, Flores Tengah) memperlihatkan bentang alam yang khas terbuka, mengingatkan kita pada lingkungan umum kehidupan Homo erectus. Melalui kajian arkeologi ruang, tulisan berjudul ‘Kehidupan Purba di Cekungan Soa, Flores Tengah, Indonesia Timur: Kajian Arkeologi Kawasan’ ini diharapkan dapat mengungkapkan kehidupan masa lalu di Cekungan Soa, terutama berkaitan dengan manusia, budaya dan lingkungannya Keynotes: Kehidupan Purba - Cekungan Soa – Flores Tengah – Arkeologi Ruang/Kawasan – Homo erectus ABSTRACT. The Ancient Life At The Soa Basin Central Flores, East Indonesia (Study Of Spatial Archaeology) Soa Basin is a valley-shaped plain, which was formed by the eruption of an ancient volcano during the Pliocene period that created a caldera. In the next period, the Pleistocene, it turned into a big lake with lush environment, so that it tempted various living creatures (both humans and animals) to come and inhabited the area around the lake. Based on the artifacts and ecofacts found at the site, life at this area has been going on since the Lower Pleistocene - Early Middle Pleistocene. In rality the Soa Basin area - which are supported by absolute dating – have enabled us to know their esact age. We have found 15 locations/sites that bear Palaeolithic tools in association with fossils of vertebrates bones. The 35 x 22 km Soa Basin is located 15 km northeast of Bajawa (the capital of Ngada Regency, Central Flores). It has a unique open landscape that reminds us of the typical environment of Homo erectus. By using the spatial archaeology study, this article of the title ‘the Ancient Lifes at the Soa Basin, Central Flores, East Indonesia: Study of Spatial Archaeology’ is hoped to be able to reveal the life at Soa Basin in particular, especially in relation to the aspect of human, culture, and environment. Key words: Ancient Lifes – Soa Basi – Central Flores – Spatial Archaeology – Homo Erectus
