The existence of Semarang city as a trading town on the north coast of Java had been going on since the founding of Old Mataram Kingdom and continues to grow, until the period of Dutch colonial rule. The rapid development as a city of Semarang in the Dutch colonial period was marked by the establishment of the buildings at the site which is now called Semarang Old Town. Most of these buildings serve as offices and private VOC trade. Over time, Semarang became not only a trading center but it evolved into a gemeente (municipality), up to the present period. Nevertheless, there seems to be lack of interest in making the history of Semarang as a subject in teaching history at the local level, especially in educational circles, as the subject matter in teaching history. As a source of considerable historical importance, there is nothing wrong if a teacher of History, especially in the city of Semarang, making the Old City as a source of learning for students in the city of Semarang. Therefore the existence of sites as well as historical buildings in the city of Semarang is should no longer simply regarded as old buildings that have without meaning. And at least it will foster public awareness of Semarang city, especially among students to participate in regard to keep the existence of the Old Town and make it as an asset of History and Tourism in the city of Semarang.

Pulling from landuse caves man and cave dwellers Kidang roaming in search of food sources and raw materials for tools, encouraging the cultural continuity with Pleistocene sites. Geological and archaeological data shed some light on the Kidang cave man roaming in the span of space and time with Pleistocene sites.

Ecofact is a key for investigating mode of adaptation. Ecofact that commonly found on archaeological sites especially on inhabited caves were shell deposits. Fundamentally, the formation of archaeological record was resulted from behavioral processes and transformational processes. However, the problem is that we can’t observe them, because those aspects had occurred in past time. Etnoarchaeological study can be used to solve those problems. Ethnoarchaeology studies have given contribution to interpret various aspects of human life of the past, starting from issues related to the technological and tools systems, subsistence, social systems, and processes of transformation. Therefore, this ethnoarchaeological research investigates behavioral system of coastal community who has collected, consumed, and discarded sea shells. The result of this research can be used as a model from formation processes of sea shell ecofact.
