TRADISI BERLANJUT BUDAYA AUSTRONESIA DI LIMA PULUH KOTO, SUMATERA BARAT
Austronesian diaspora shows that around 60% of Austronesian-speaking people live in Indonesia. Among the locations with traces of Austronesian cultural remains is the information about the diaspora of Research reveals that the continuing megalithic tradition. The problem is: if megalithic culture was brought by migrants in which Austronesian period did the menhirs should be placed, the proto-historic or recent Austronesian; how is the dispersal pattern of the menhirs; and who were the bearers of the culture. Therefore we have to reveal the form and dispersal of the megalithic culture and Austronesian migration in Lima Puluh Koto Area. The aim of this research is revealing cultural history through the migrant's adaptation within the perspective of Austronesian diaspora. Thus information about the diaspora of the Austronesians and the ethnogenesis of Indoneisan nation can be recognized. Research reveals that the continuing megalithic tradition which is used the qualitative method and  assumed base on archaeological remains at Lima Puluh Koto area is a distribution of menhirs, that forms clusters in accordance with nagari (state) at certain area, and they are dispersed up to the hilly area. Some of these menhirs have sacred function but there are also those with profane functions like marks of village, house yard, or street boundaries, as well as the marker of village or hamlet roads.
 
PRIMATA BESAR DI JAWA: SPESIMEN BARU GIGANTOPITHECUS DARI SEMEDO
In 2014 there was found two "enigmatic" specimens of mandible, which named as Semedo 3417 and 3418. Both mandibles are morphologically similar but twice bigger than common primate’s jaw. In this research, we use morphology and morphometric analysis to determine the species identity and taxonomic position of those specimens. For comparison study we use some samples from Homo erectus (Java and China), Gigantopithecus (blacki and bilaspurensis), Australopithecines (robust and gracile). Based on morphology and morphometric characters on the mandible and teeth, it is concluded that Semedo specimen tends to be close to Gigantopithecus blacki. The discoveries of Gigantopithecus fossil in Java has implication on some research problem, especially regarding the adaptation pattern of this species which known only found at high latitudes environment. Furthermore this discovery has reinforced the perspective that tropical environment has a very high biodiversity, particularly on primate fossils
STABILITAS STRUKTUR TANAH CANDI SUKUH: SAAT INI DAN MENDATANG
The research of soil structure stability at Sukuh Temple was carried out in order to seek the answer to geotechnical and geological issues of the temple’s environment. This National Heritage Site, which,was built around 14th century AD,has some environment disturbances caused by developing settlement area, tourism, and mining. Furthermore, theexistence of mining activity at the site as shown by the tunnels and caves in the underground of the Temple’s area, could makepotentiall triggers for landslide in the future of the temple. Considering the major influence of mining activity in the area of this site, the soil structure study is necessery for focusing to assess the threats caused by this mining activity in the Temple’s area. Geotechnical survey and geological survey condition have been done to collect data for this study. The survey were also been done for identifying other aspect such as earthquake in surrounding area of the Temple
