Abstract

itu pergantian tahta merupakan masalah yang pelik di dalam sistim pemerintahan yang bersifat kerajaan. Alur pengganti yang berhak naik tahta seakan-akan telah ditentukan oleh kodrat dari yang Maha kuasa. Manusia tinggal menuruti dan melaksanakan koderat terebut. Dalam pemerintahan yang bersifat kerajaan silsilah merupakan pegangan pokok. Sebab silsilah inilah yang menentukan kedudukan seseorang. Tinggi rendahnya pangkat serta titel yang disandang berdasar letaknya di dalam silsilah. Mereka yang masih dekat dengan raja mendapat titel yang tinggi sebaliknya mereka yang sudah jauh dengan raja mendapat titel yang rendah.

Abstract

Setelah kami kembali dari Tugas Belajar Utama di Rijks-Universiteit Leiden (1968-1969), pada suatu hari Dekan Fakultas Sastra UNUD (Universitas Udayana) di Denpasar minta kepada kami agar bersedia menyertai rombongan mahasiswa jurusan Anthropologi UNUD yang akan melakukan penelitian dialek bahasa di Sepang, Perbekelan Sepang, Kecamatan Busungbiyu, Kabupaten Bleleng. Hal ini berdasarkan berita (sinyalemen) bahwa penduduk setempat masih menyimpan beberapa buah benda purbakala. Permintaan itu kami sambut dengan baik, dengan pengharapan mudah-mudahan di daerah sekitar Sepang juga ditemukan sarkofag, mengingat palungan (sarkofag) tersebut pernah ditemukan di Busungbiyu, Pujungan dan di Pohasem.

Abstract

Apabila kita berkunjung ke kota-kota di Indonesia pertama-tama yang menarik perhatian kita adalah bentuk-bentuk bangunan rumah penduduk. Berdasarkan macam-macam bentuk atap rumah, masing-masing diberi nama menurut gayanya sendiri, di Jawa misalnya ada yang dinamakan atap joglo, atap limasan, tajug, kampung dan sebagainya. Di Minangkabau rumah gadang mempunyai bentuk atap khusus yang berbeda dengan bangunan meunasah dari Aceh. Tegasnya nenek moyang Indonesia telah mewariskan kepada kita beraneka macam bentuk atap rumah, masing-masing dengan ciri khusus, dan kesemuanya memiliki keindahan tersendiri. Bentuk atap bangunan rumah kampung yang di Jawa merupakan bangunan rumah yang paling sederhana misalnya, mempunyai keindahan tersendiri di tengah-tengah alam Indonesia yang indah permai. Cobalah pembaca sekali-sekali mengamati pondok rakyat di kaki Gunung Merapi, Semeru atau Tangkubanperahu di pagi hari, sungguh menakjubkan! Rumah beratap kampung di selasela rindangnya rumpurl bambu atau pepohonan di lereng bukit yang hijau dengan tiang-tiang gantungan sangkar burung membeii kesan kedamaian dan kebahagiaan penghuninya lebih-lebih ditingkah suara, kokok ayam atau kambing yang mengembik, sungguh mempesona!

Abstract

Culture is a human effort to adapt to its environment, including in terms of constructing a building or religious site. In constructing a building it is influenced by several factors, for example due to ecological, economic, political and religious factors. Site placement in the Palembang area can be approached from an ecological approach. Based on available data, the archaeological sites in Palembang are all located on the right side of the Musi River. It turns out that based on the altitude of the place, the right side of the river is higher than the left side.

Abstract

Starch grains in archaeological sites are essential to reveal the use of plants and human subsistence. This paper aims to provide reference to starch grain from local food plants originating from Papua Island. We use two methods for extracting samples: starch grains from raw and processed plant samples. We examine the starch grains using a 400x magnification polarisation microscope and ICSN 2011 to identify them. The morphological and morphotypological characteristics of starch grain from each plant are determined by applying univariate and multivariate statistical analysis. The results showed changes in the structure of the starch grain from the processed plant samples. The starch grains from the raw plant samples had different morphological and morphotypical characteristics. Variations in the shape and morphometry of starch grains are associated with typical starch from certain plants. This study provides a practical reference for identifying starch grains from archaeological sites, such as the Atiat and Karas sites.

Abstract

Archaeological research in the Muarajambi temple area has indicated its past function as a place for learning Buddhist teachings, inhabited by settlers between the 7th and 12th centuries AD. Its location near the Batanghari River and tropical forests made the settlers vulnerable to health disturbances. Starting with this phenomenon, the question arises: what was the picture of healthy living practices of the settlers in the Muarajambi Temple Complex between the 7th and 12th centuries AD? This research uses K. Dark's archaeological method with Ian Hodder's entanglement theory analysis to examine the relationship between excavation data from Candi Koto Mahligai and Kedaton, I-Tsing's records, and the surrounding environment. There is a possibility that 1) the implementation of the Mahavihara Muarajambi settlers' regulations not only trained spirituality but also physical and mental health; 2) from the pollen data of medicinal plants, it is possible that the students developed medical knowledge; 3) pollen data and the analysis of the functions of medicinal plants provide an overview of the types of diseases suffered by the settlers; and 4) the discovery of artifacts and features at the Muarajambi Temple strengthens the similarity of hypotesa with the narrative of healthy living practices in the I-Tsing text.

Abstract

Serdang Bedagai Regency was formerly the territory of the Serdang Sultanate, the Bedagai Kingdom, Padang, and Bajalinggei. Numerous historical landscape remains dating back more than 50 years have been identified in the form of objects, buildings, structures, and sites. Several challenges remain, including limited identication, dokumentation, and maintenance effort, as well as issues related to population growth, land conversion, land conflicts, and zoning regulations. The main objective of this study is to map landscape changes and the distribution of cultural landscape objects inherited by the Serdang Sultanate Site and the Bedagai Kingdom Site. The method used is qualitative and spatial descriptive analysis with a Landscape Character Assessment approach. As a result, The findings reveal that Sergai Regency prossesses two Regency-level Cultural Heritage Sites. A total of 50 registered objects and 29 New Discoveries. The results of the map delineation indicate that significant landscape changes have occurred. Factors influencing landscape changes are the social revolution of 1946, the absence of zoning and a preservation agenda, minimal budget, land conversion, land conflicts, and the rate of population growth. The Serdang Palace Complex has been converted into housing and there are 16 new object discoveries, while at the Bedagai Kingdom Site there are two Kingdom site locations with 6 newly discovered object.

Abstract

This study discusses about the comparison of Rahwana depiction in reliefs of the Ramayana story found in Candi Prambanan (9th century) and Candi Panataran (14th century) through a comparative iconographic analysis based on Panofsky’s theory. Rahwana at Candi Prambanan is depicted in supernatural form, possessing multiple heads and hands in a naturalistic and ideal style. This depiction is rooted in classical Indian art which was later adapted by Old Javanese artists. This portrayal affirms royal legitimacy through association with the divine. In the other hand, Rahwana in Candi Panataran presents in a more rigid, wayang kulit (shadow puppet) form, as an ordinary human lacking mythological features. This representation serves as a political allegory, symbolizing real-world threats within the context of ancient Javanese society. These differences reflect a shift in both artistic style and symbolic meaning, as Rahwana transform form a mythic villain in Indian epic tradition to a political metaphor shaped by Javanese socio-political realities, emphasizing the differing historical backdrops of the two temple eras.

Abstract

The extraction of plant micro remains from the dental calculus of human remains at the Plawangan site yielded a starch grain. Preliminary analysis with a limited reference sample suggested that the starch indicated the consumption of cereal from the Triticeae plants, specifically wheat or barley, in the early AD. This article aims to reassess the starch previously identified as belonging to the Triticeae. The starch was re-examined using descriptive-qualitative and multivariate comparative analyses, including LDA and cluster analysis. The data used were wheat and barley starch reference samples extracted from fresh plants. The result demonstrated that the starch from the dental calculus was not origin from Triticeae, particularly wheat and barley. This was due to the primer difference in surface area. The result also invalidated the initial interpretation suggesting the consumption of wheat or barley at the Plawangan site in the early AD.
