Abstract

Decorative motifs found in Hindu and Buddhist temples, usually are depicted on almost all parts of buildings. Decorative motif in the form of reliefs consisted of geometric ornaments, nature, plants, animals, and humans. Relief there is a series of panels connected to one another with stories taken shadow-play epic. Fables are also often depicted. Stories with animals as the main character containing morale for human’s life. Temple has 3 main parts, namely the base, body, and roof of the temple. In addition there is also a section called cornice and plinth. This serves as a separator between the three parts of the temple. To add beauty and give the impression of a slender building, then on cornice and plinth was carved decorative motif that surrounds the temple. The various decorative motifs will be discussed at length in this paper.

Abstract

Towards mid of 20th century Indonesia was not yet fully freed from suffering, particularly the Japanese occupation. During the period of 3 years, from 1942 to 1945 Japan seized Indonesia. First they landed in is East Kalimantan. From here they occupied the entire archipelago. To defend the territory, the built numerous fortress called bunker. The term often used to refer to Japanese Caves. Japanese bunker and Japanese caves are different. Bunkers were made of a mixture of cement, stone, and sand, while the cave were made by drilling holes in the hills horizontally, the entire Japanese defense system in Banyumas are caves. By observing Japanese caves, particularly in Banyumas, we can learn about the defense system elaborated by the Japanese in Java during their occupation.

Abstract

Most of the building of temples Hindu / Buddhist in Java, always equipped with statues as a symbol of the manifestation of the gods. These statues are usually placed in the temple chambers in accordance with their respective functions. One thing that is interesting about how to obtain the materials and manufacturing process performed by the artists sculpture carving during the Ancient Java era?. Therefore, the approach tries to uncover ethno-archaeology through ethnographic data. From these data, expected to be useful for science as well as add insight for anyone who wants to know about the 'secret' making of the statues in the Java-Kuna. Our ancestors have proven that they have the genius of local identity and identity as a cultural and civilized nation.

Abstract

Panji stories that were spread throughout Indonesia and Southeast Asia were not only known as old literature. Panji stories were also sculpted as the reliefs on temples in East Java. The existence of the text shows the historical facts that form the basis for the emergence of the Panji stories. Panji figure could be a manifestation of the life of kings in the past. The presence of papyrus, relief, and also stage performance that tell the story of Panji showed that there is a correlation among literature, relief, and performance, in the realm of art creation. Are Panji stories stay preserved as part of the development of art in Indonesia? Arja performances in Bali could describe how Panji stories can still be traced. Arja's performance used Panji stories as a source. Now Arja is existence can still be seen through its variety of plays. However, this does not make the panji story disappear in the Arja's performance. This issue will be addressed as a consequence of the adaptation of the revolving art. Not only in the present, but in the past a pattern of adaptation that can transpose works from different disciplines has already emerged. Panji stories can be known through papyrus, relief, and performances. Today it is still going without being recognized.

Abstract

Mapping geophysics research was conducted by geomagnetic method to know anomaly pattern of magnetic pole and to know distribution location and depth of temple gate composing stone in Losari Temple Site by using magnetic data. Data collection used Proton Precessions Magnetometer (PPM) G-856AX by area width of 88 km x 40 km and measurement space of 3 meter used looping method. Field data was corrected by daily variation and IGRF (International Geomagnetics Reference Field) correction and then reduction to pole. The slice modeling was conducted on local anomaly map on height of 6 meter. The result of the local magnetic field anomalies incision then interpolated to get an idea of the spread and depth of rocks making up the fence Losari temple. Local anomaly map shows that anomaly position lies in southwest, southeast, and northeast from main temple. Based from interpolated distribution of magnetic pole anomaly is dominated in depth of 2 meter to 4 meter.

Abstract

Petrographic analysis is able to explain about the technology of pottery making, where the pottery come from and how to the pottery spread out. Petrographic analysis of sherds found either from the surface survey and excavations in the region of Bethok and Grati Lakes, can indicate whether the pottery found at the sites above have similar elements with the pottery marketed in the local market nowadays?. Based on the results of petrographic analysis can be concluded that the fragments of pottery found at both sites above have similar material elements of pottery now found in the local markets. Thus since long time ago pottery marketing from Besuk village production have reached the regional Tiris market within about 50 Km. Similarly, the pottery artefacts found at the Grati Lake are assumed to have originated from Keraton village production around 50 Km from the site.

Abstract

Radiocarbon dating is a tool for age determination of a carbon sample. During the time, synthesis benzene method is used for age determination mentioned. By this method it could be analyzed one sample per day only with high material cost. Lately, it has been developed a new method, namely CO2 absorption method. The latest method is often called as direct counting CO2, because radioisotope of 14C in CO2 is counted directly and converted to age. The aim of the development and the use of the method are supporting some research in isotope hydrology, oceanography, climatology, geology, and archeology by faster, economic and practice. The result of 14C analyses for the same sample using the CO2 absorption when compared to the synthesis benzene method is relatively equal.

Abstract

The Song Keplek 5 (SK5) specimen was found in 1998 at the Song Keplek site, located in the Gunung Sewu (Southern Mountains) karst region, East Java. SK5 is a burial dated within direct sample with an AMS date from its fragments bones of c. 3053 ± 65 calBP (AA96775). This paper will discuss the archaeological and biological context of SK 5. Biological information includes estimation of age, sex determination, height, and any indicators of systemic pathology. Discussion of archaeological context will include cultural practices during this individual’s life, and subsequent funerary practices post-mortem. This exploration of the cultural and biological context of SK 5 will not only begin to flesh out an “osteobiography†for this individual, but also improve our understanding of living conditions during the mid Holocene in Java, in the time of early Austronesian occupation in this island.

Abstract

When India culture introduce to Indonesia Archipelago, some changes were happen in its native culture. One of India influence was its religion i.e. Hinduism and Buddhism. Both religion then resemblance in material culture such as sacred building (temple), rites utensils (statue, bell, monk stick finial, etc.), or inscription. One of its material source to made those things is bronze. When Indian culture was introduced, the natives weren’t take it for granted adopt Indian concept for producing bronze things. By XRF analysis, known that bronze artifacts from Northern Sumatra and Java aren’t adopt concept from India traditions i.e. astadhatu and pancaloha. Indian influence on bronze artifacts from Northern Sumatra and Java can see on fullfilness of religion concept, especially on statues. It seen on the choosing of special metals as dominan elements for bronze statue construction. This study reveals some of similarities and diverences in construction elements between Northern Sumatra and Java bronze artifacts.

Abstract

Karakelong island located in the Talaud Islands, North Sulawesi Province. In astronomy Talaud Islands lies between 3° 45'- 5° north latitude and between 126° 30' - 126°45' east longitude. The island is surrounded by natural beauty of the sea coast and forests. Archaeological remnants from this island among others are a series of Karakelong caves, one of which is the Balangingi cave. From this site has been obtained more than 2.604 fragments of pottery, three red-glass beads and two green-glass beads, two fragments of bronze/copper and a segment of bronze/copper bracelets. Radio carbon dating on charchoal samples found at the depth of 20-30 cm showed the date of 950 ± 130 BP in the middle layer of the culture. (Tanudirjo 2001). From observations made on the vegetation environment in Karakelong island, in particular in the sub distrct of Rainis (Rainis village), the physiognomy of plants can be divided in to the environment of coastal vegetation, plantation environment, bush and jungle environments. This site could be expected to be come a tourist destination in the future, considering the site has the potential for archaeological remains as well as its potential environment.
