ISSN : 22523758     EISSN : 25283618     DOI : https://doi.org/10.55981/purbawidya
Purbawidya is a journal that publishes research, conceptions, and ideas on the development of archaeology. This paper explores the meaning and significance of “Purbawidya”, which translates to “Past Knowledge” in English. Using various approaches from archaeology, anthropology, sociology, philology, history, architecture, geography, geology, biology, chemistry, ecology, and other sciences, this paper analyses how humans and past cultures are studied and understood through Purbawidya. The paper argues that Purbawidya is not only a journal name, but also a concept that reflects the interdisciplinary and holistic nature of archaeological inquiry.

Abstract

Marapu is the Sumba people's ancestral faith that believes in the power of the ancestors. The indigenous community in Central Sumba strongly embraces the traditional ceremonies related to the marapu faith. On the other hand, modernity, loaded with capitalistic values, opens up the possibility for mobilities, one of which is ideological mobility. Globalization, followed by the entrance of modern religions, creates technological shifts in the traditional community's cultural system. This research investigates the dynamics of the traditionals houses architecture in Central Sumba Regency. This research also scrutinizes the ideology and other factors underlying the shifts. The theories of ideology and hegemony are eclectically applied. This research employs a qualitative research design. Data are collected through field surveys conducted in the traditional villages. Next, village members, relevant stakeholders are also interviewed. Besides that, a literature study is conducted, followed by a descriptive-qualitative analysis. The material and functional shifts of the traditional house happen due to the rise of new ideologies, hegemony imposed by the government, and economic factors. The shifts resulting from social and cultural changes are hopefully in line with the efforts to preserve the traditions and cultural remains of the traditional villages.

Abstract

Discussions and studies on Chinese settlement (Chinatown) in the eastern hinterland of West Java are still scarce. Historical data about the region formerly known as East Priangan shows an indication of the existence the ethnic community, including in Ciamis Regency. The diaspora of ethnic Chinese to the area, their interactions with the surrounding community, and the forming of ethnic community which later developed into a settlement with all the physical aspects attached to it are the issues to be answered. This study uses historical-archeology approach with initial observations on existing archaeological remains and interviews with several informant to determine the spatial and temporal scope. The result showed that the Chinese settlement in Ciamis Regency consist of various elements such as residential buildings, socio-cultural and educational facilities, buildings for spiritual activities, burial complex, and industrial area that were developed in accordance with varying background conditions. It can also be said that one of the reasons on the arrival of ethnic Chinese in Ciamis Regency is correlated to the opening of plantations in East Priangan. Initially, their role tends to be the ‘middle-man’ between natives and Europeans. However, during the later period they also gave contribution and significance in various fields, be it social, cultural, economic, or political.

Abstract

Several cities in Indonesia that was built and developed during the colonial era can be categorized as planned cities and grew due to industrial and mining activities. Manggar is a city that grew due to tin mining activities on the east of Belitung Island. This paper will examine the cityscape of Manggar which developed from a simple settlement into a complex settlement. In addition, this paper will also discuss ethnic segregation in Manggar which is one of the characteristics of the city that grew in the colonial era. The source of the data in this article is the result of archaeological research conducted by the Archaeological Center of South Sumatra in 2021. This research compared archaeological data with historical data together with old maps. The results of the analysis showed that Manggar had four phases of development between the early nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In addition, there is also a clear pattern of separation between settlement of one ethnicity with the other ethnicities scattered in Manggar City. The separation of these settlements was a manifestation of the policy of the Dutch East Indies Government issued in 1854 regarding the stratification of social classes based on ethnic groups.

Abstract

The China Town in the past was one of the important trading ports in the archipelago, this is proven by the abundance of findings from archaeological excavations at the site. The decline of China Town as a trading city is recorded in people's memories in the form of speech stories. The story that is quite well known and developed in the community that makes China Town abandoned by its inhabitants is due to the attack of kepah (a type of sea shell) that comes from the sea. As a result, people flocked to leave the city. This story continues to this day. This paper aims to explain scientifically the speech stories that developed in the community associated with data from archaeological research that has been carried out at the site. From the results of excavations carried out, it is found that in various locations, kitchen waste is almost always found in the form of concentrations of shells. This results in environmental damage in the form of river silting, and the closure of the soil surface due to shell waste. These two things make China Town uncomfortable to live in and then abandoned.

Abstract

This paper examines management efforts in the Bukit Kerang Kawal Darat (BKKD) site area on Bintan Island, framing sustainable development goals (SDGs). There are indications that the BKKD site has not experienced any progress in the area, even though it has been more than ten years since the local government released the land. Identification of the potential of natural, human, and cultural resources in the BKKD area is important to be projected in the 2030 SDGs study. The SDGs study on archaeological sites is considered can help focus various parts of the most realistic and measurable by synthesizing based on Cultural Heritage Law, and Cultural Advancement Law. This paper uses inductive reasoning, starting with a discussion of all data from observations, interviews, and literature studies. The data was analyzed, interpreted, and designed as a simulation scoring method of readiness to achieve SDGs until 2030. A communication strategy is needed to produce a blueprint for measurable management stages within the framework of the SDGs until 2030 after the BKKD is registered as a cultural heritage. This is a practical and theoretical contribution to the study of Archeology for sustainable development.

Abstract

Geographically, East Flores Regency covers the eastern part of Flores Island, Solor Island, and Adonara Island. This study focuses on the three old ports, namely Larantuka Port (located in the eastern part of Flores Island), Lohayong Port (located in Solor Island), and Adonara Port (located in Adonara Island). These three ports have been used as parts of maritime trade routes during colonial period. The purpose of this study is to reconstruct the function of these ports during 16th to 17th century, which were based on archaeological remains, geographical, and enviromental data. These ports are closely related to the availability of the superior commodity found in eastern Flores, namely sandalwood. The shipping lanes formed from several ports were reconstructed using maps. Most of the ports that have been researched in this region are traditional ports which has been used since Portuguese occupation of East Flores. Each port has different roles according to its location and association with supporting findings. Most of the old ports are collector ports on a local scale, except for Larantuka Port which was on an international scale. These ports are not only evidence of maritime activities, but also become nodes for unraveling the political, economic, and social aspects of civilization.

Abstract

The tradition of Banjar farmers in making artificial rivers for water management in rice fields can be adopted as city drainage, especially in housing complexes. For the adoption to be successful, it is necessary to pay attention to how the water flow works to ensure its implementation, as well as development. The method used in this paper is qualitative. Data were collected based on direct observation activities, and supplemented with secondary data in the form of written sources, documents, pictures, and maps. The analysis was carried out by descriptive, comparison, and interpretation. The result obtained is the natural flow of water in artificial rivers applying a gravity system which is realized by placing attention to heights, in order from highest to lowest, rice fields, saka, handil, and natural rivers. The adoption of this pattern for drainage in housing complexes needs to take into account of the basic concept, and be developed according to current conditions. Therefore, it can be concluded that the way of regulation works with artificial river facilities is feasible to be adopted and applied to drainage in the current housing complexes.

Abstract

This article aims to understand the landscape characteristics of obsidian sites around Bandung Basin area with its various dynamics as a form of cultural expression. This cultural expression relates to aspects of choosing a residential location and its relationship between sites, at a certain time. Through qualitative methods, descriptive reasoning and with a landscape approach and data collection techniques through geoarchaeological surveys and interviews, the 2021 research found 20 obsidian sites. The landscape in the Bandung Purba Lake area can be divided into two: hills (highlands) with an altitude between 684-1534 ms above sea level and lowlands with an altitude below 684 ms above sea level. The conclusion obtained from the landscape approach in the Bandung Purba Lake area show that people choose and utilize the environment, adapting in space and time.
