Keramik Muatan Kapal Karam di Perairan Utara Cirebon: Bukti Jaringan Pelayaran Kuna
The discovery of a shipwreck with various types of cargo in the archipelago, reinforce historical data of the archipelago in the past, such as a trading network between inter-island shipping and trade as well as interregional. One of shipwreck is found in the waters north of Cirebon, the most dominant cargo is ceramics. These commodities, provide more concrete archeological evidence about of distribution process ceramics from place of production (producer-kiln) to consumers, as well as variability, chronology, and ware, so that the certainty of any variety of ceramics traded and the distribution pattern, not only with ceramics commodity, but also with other commodity goods. The results of the analysis of ceramics, it can be seen the range chronology between 9th -10th Century: Late Tang, Five Dynasti, Northern Song and Liao, Zhejiang Province products. Ceramics items can be confirmed as a commodity item that appeared in the ship to be distributed to the consumer countries, including Indonesia. Ceramics is the principal key to the existence of international commercial network in the past. Therefore, ceramics becomes a significant subject of studies, since it enables us to find evidences to explain the long-distance trade that had occurred in the past; despite the presence of only limited ceramics period

Potensi Situs Arkeologi Kawasan Kerinci, Jambi: Ikon Budaya Austronesia
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 Jam bi can are very rarely found in school books, leaflet of culture and tourism information, eventhougb 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 Kerinci 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 speakings and culture is important to examine using Archaeological perspectives
Sebaran dan Karakteristik Situs Arkeologi di Kalimantan Tengah
Kalimantan Tengah landscape consists of the Schwaner-Muller Mountain, the coastal area, and plain on the river bank. This environment supplies the abundant resources as a cultural area inhabited by humans since the prehistoric times. The researches in Kalimantan Tengah havefound archaeological sites which spread in each landscape. This article discusses how the characteristic of archaeological sites in Kalimantan Tengah based on the geographical location. This research begins with data collecting from archaeology research report fromcentral Kalimantan region at Balai Arkeologi Kalimantan Selatan during 1993-2018. This research aims to find out the site characteristics on the different geographical location. The method classify the sites based ongeographic location. The next step is identifiying the sites based on geographicparameters and environment condition, characteristics of artifacts, cultural characteristics, and its chronology. This research result is indicating that the site distribution in Kalimantan Tengah region tend to be at watersheds, starting from the upstream to the coastal area, and the characteristic of the site is affected by its geographical locational.

Hasil Analisis Mikrofosil Tumbuhan (phytolith) Situs Wineki dan Padang Hadoa, di Kawasan Lembah Besoa, Sulawesi Tengah.
Phytoliths are plant microfossil made of silica that varies in shape and size. Variations of form happen when silica in soil is absorbed by plants then transported and deposited in various parts of plant cells. When the plant dies, the plant's organic matter decomposes and leaves the inorganic material of silica, which we know by the name of phytoliths. Silica can survive in various environmental conditions, That’s make phytoliths are important data for scientific research including archeology. Phytoliths analysis on soil samples from prehistoric Besoa Valley’s site aimed to reveal past environmental conditions and also find out the possibility of an economical plant utilization. Extraction performed on 18 soil samples from Wineki (box K1) and the Padang Hadoa sites (box K2 and K3). Techniques were performed using Sodium Polytungstate heavy flotation. Phytoliths identification results reveal palmae plants dominate the entire site, other phytolith derived from sample are Poaeceae, Cyperaceae and also two types of economic plants Oryza and Musaceae. Difference vegetation on past (dominated by palm) and current conditions (dominated by grasses)can indicate their changing environmental conditions either due to natural or due to human intervention. The existence of Oryza and Musaceae in Padang Hadoa sites can be an indication of the use by Padang Hadoa’s prehistoric occupant.Keyword : phytolith, Besoa Valley, Oryza, Musaceae Phytoliths merupakan mikrofosil tumbuhan berbahan silica yang bervariasi secara bentuk dan ukuran. Variasi bentuk phytolith terjadi ketika silica dalam tanah terserap oleh tumbuhan kemudian terangkut dan terdeposisi pada bermacam bagian sel tumbuhan. Ketika tumbuhan mati, material organic tumbuhan membusuk dan meninggalkan material anorganik berupa silica yang kemudian kita kenal dengan nama phytoliths. Sifat silica yang dapat terawetkan diberbagai kondisi lingkungan menjadikan phytoliths data penting bagi penelitian ilmiah termasuk bagi arkeologi. Analisis phytoliths pada sampel tanah dari kawasan prasejarah Lembah Besoa ini bertujuan untuk mengungkapkan kondisi lingkungan masa lalu dan juga mengetahui kemungkinan adanya pemanfaatan tumbuhan. Ekstraksi dilakukan pada 18 sampel tanah dari Wineki ( kotak K1 ) dan situs Padang Hadoa ( kotak K2 dan K3 ). Teknik yang dilakukan yakni dengan pengambangan menggunakan mineral berat Sodium Polytungstate. Hasil identifikasi mengungkapkan tumbuhan jenis palem mendominasi seluruh situs dibandingkan dengan jenis tumbuhan lain. Jenis tumbuhan lain yang dapat diidentifikasi dari sampel yaitu jenis Poaeceae, Cyperaceae dan juga dua jenis tumbuhan ekonomis Oryza dan Musaceae. Perbedaan vegetasi di masa lalu (yang didominasi oleh palem) dan kondisi saat ini (didominasi oleh rumput ) dapat menunjukkan adanya perubahan kondisi lingkungan baik karena alam atau karena campur tangan manusia. Keberadaan Oryza dan Musaceae di situs Padang Hadoa dapat menjadi indikasi adanya pemanfaatan jenis tumbuhan tersebut oleh manusia pendukung situs Padang Hadoa ini.Kata kunci: phytolith, Lembah Besoa, Oryza, Musacea
