Tracing the Earliest Settlements on Seram Island, as a Theoretical Framework for the Chronology of Human Occupation in the Maluku Archipelago
Pulau Seram merupakan pulau terbesar dalam kawasan Kepulauan Maluku bagian Selatan. Studi geologi juga secara umum menyimpulkan bahwa Seram merupakan salah satu pulau yang paling tua ditinjau dari usia geologi di Kepulauan Maluku. Tradisi lisan masyarakat asli Maluku mengenal Pulau Seram dengan sebutan ‘Nusa Ina’ atau ‘Pulau Ibu,’ serta diyakini sebagai lokasi legenda ‘Nunusaku’ atau asal-usul orang Maluku saat ini. Sejumlah riwayat penelitian yang pernah dilakukan oleh para ahli merekam berbagai data arkeologi yang tersebar di Pulau Seram sebagai bukti bekas hunian dan permukiman. Data arkeologi yang ditemukan di Pulau Seram cukup beragam yang berasal dari masa paleolitik, neolitik, hingga masa sejarah, menjadikan Pulau Seram sebagai lokasi yang memiliki data riwayat periodisasi hunian paling lengkap dan panjang. Informasi tradisi lisan juga laporan masyarakat relatif menjadi rujukan dalam penelusuran data arkeologi di lokasi yang terindikasi sebagai hunian dan permukiman kuno. Penelitian ini mendeskripsikan jejak-jejak hunian dan permukiman paling awal di Pulau Seram serta Kepulauan Maluku bagian Selatan secara umum. Penelusuran data arkeologis dilakukan melalui observasi lapangan. Analisis penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif terhadap seluruh data arkeologis dan informasi tradisi lisan yang dikumpulkan dengan merujuk pada kajian referensi yang relevan. Penelitian ini membahas sejumlah riwayat penelusuran hunian dan permukiman pada masa prakolonial yang pernah diinisiasi selama ini, serta upaya penelusuran data arkeologis terbaru berdasarkan informasi tradisi lisan dan laporan masyarakat. Penelitian ini juga bertujuan untuk merangkum dan menelaah kembali sejumlah referensi termutakhir mengenai teori penghunian paling awal Kepulauan Maluku yang sejauh ini masih menjadi diskusi yang menarik, mengingat minimnya referensi data arkeologi serta uji kronologi absolut di wilayah ini. Penelitian ini menghasilkan rekonstruksi teori penghunian dan permukiman paling awal di Pulau Seram pada khususnya dan Kepulauan Maluku secara umum.
Seram Island is the largest island in the Southern part of the Maluku Archipelago. Geological studies also generally conclude that Seram is one of the oldest islands in Maluku. The oral tradition of the indigenous people of Maluku knows Seram Island as 'Nusa Ina' or 'Mother Island.' Seram Island is the location of the legend of 'Nunusaku' or the origins of the Maluku People. Several historical studies by experts record various archaeological data scattered on Seram Island as evidence of early human dwellings and settlements. Archaeological data on Seram Island is quite varied from the Paleolithic Neolithic to historical periods. The data shows Seram Island as the most comprehensive location of periodization of human occupation. Information on oral traditions and community reports are relatively being a reference in tracing archaeological data in some areas indicated as ancient dwellings and settlements. This study describes the traces of the earliest dwellings and settlements on Seram Island and the Southern Maluku Islands in general. The archaeological data was collected through field observations. The analysis of this study used a qualitative descriptive method on all archaeological data and information on oral traditions collected by referring to relevant reference studies. This research discusses several references of early dwellings and settlements in the pre-colonial period that have been initiated so far and the latest archaeological data based on information on oral traditions and community reports. This study also aims to summarize and review a number of the most recent references to the theory of the earliest settlement of the Maluku Archipelago, which so far is still an interesting discussion, considering the lack of archaeological data references and absolute chronology tests in this region. This research delivers a reconstruction of the theory of the earliest dwellings and settlements on Seram Island and the Maluku Archipelago in general

Gambar cadas merupakan salah satu tradisi yang tertua dan paling banyak tersebar di penjuru dunia. Gambar cadas menjadi bagian dari data penting dalam mempelajari masa lalu, karena gambar cadas kemungkinan mengandung makna pada pemikiran simbolik manusia yang membuatnya. Gambar cadas di Indonesia merupakan budaya yang berlangsung berkesinambungan sejak periode awal gelombang migrasi manusia di Kepulauan Indonesia sekitar puluhan ribu tahun hingga kedatangan penutur budaya Austronesia yang membuka periode Neolitik sekitar ribuan tahun lalu. Gambar cadas di Kawasan Kepulauan Maluku Bagian Tengah pada khususnya secara umum dikenali berciri Tradisi Gambar Austronesia atau lebih dikenal dengan sebutan APT (Austronesian Painting Tradition). Penelitian ini melaporkan temuan baru gambar cadas di di Situs Tanjung Bintang, Pulau Pua, Pesisir Utara Pulau Buano. Penelitian ini menerapkan metode kualitatif dan analitis dalam mendeskripsikan objek motif gambar cadas berdasarkan kajian literatur terkait referensi-referensi yang merujuk pada kajian gambar cadas di Maluku. Penelitian ini mengenali bahwa gambar cadas di Situs Tanjung Bintang berciri Tradisi Gambar Austronesia. Kajian ini merupakan yang pertama kali melaporkan keberadaan Situs Tanjung Bintang, gambar cadas di Pesisir Utara Pulau Buano, Kepulauan Maluku.
Rock art is one of the oldest and most widespread traditions around the world. Rock art is part of essential data in studying the past because rock art has the potential to tell us something of the symbolic concerns of the people that created it. Rock art in Indonesia is a culture that has been ongoing since the early period of the wave of human migration in the Indonesian Archipelago for about tens of thousands of years until the arrival of the Austronesian speaker’s culture who opened the Neolithic period around thousands of years ago. Rock art in the Central Maluku Islands Region in particular, is generally recognized as characterized by the Austronesian Painting Tradition. This research reports new rock art findings at Tanjung Bintang Site, Pua Island, North Coast of Buano Island. This research applies qualitative and analytical methods in describing the object of rock art motifs based on a literature review related to references that refer to the study of rock art in Maluku. This research recognizes that the Tanjung Bintang Site is characterized by the Austronesian Painting Tradition. This study is the first record of the Tanjung Bintang Site rock art in the North Coast of Buano Island, Maluku
Varieties and Origins of Kampai Island Glass Beads
Manik-manik kaca yang ditemukan di berbagai situs arkeologi di Asia Selatan dan Asia Tenggara antara abad 1 dan 13 umumnya disebut sebagai manik-manik kaca Indo-Pasifik. Berbagai bentuk dan warna manik-manik kaca ditemukan di Pulau Kampai, Kabupaten Langkat, Sumatera Utara. Data yang dikumpulkan dari manik-manik kaca diperoleh dari penggalian arkeologi di Pulau Kampai. Dalam menganalisis varietas manik-manik kaca, penelitian ini mengkarakterisasi varietas manik-manik kaca Pulau Kampai berdasarkan tipologi dan frekuensi, yaitu manik-manik kaca polos dan manik-manik kaca berlekuk. Sejumlah manik-manik kaca ini dianalisis di laboratorium untuk mengidentifikasi komposisi bahan. Dalam menentukan asal produksi manik-manik kaca, penelitian ini menggunakan metode komparatif pada beberapa penelitian yang terpublikasi. Melalui perbandingan temuan limbah manik-manik kaca dari pusat produksi Arikamedu dan manik-manik kaca di Papanaidupet (India) dan Gudo (Indonesia), hasilnya diketahui bahwa Pulau Kampai adalah tempat produksi manik-manik kaca di wilayah Selat Malaka antara abad ke-11 hingga ke-14. Munculnya pulau Kampai sebagai tempat produksi manik-manik kaca pada abad ke-11 kemungkinan disebabkan oleh kondisi geopolitik. Tradisi pembuatan manik-manik kaca menyebar ke Pulau Kampai karena pengaruh Kerajaan Caka meningkat di wilayah Selat Malaka setelah ekspansinya ke beberapa tempat di wilayah tersebut.
The glass beads discovered in various archaeological sites in South Asia and Southeast Asia between the 1st and 13th centuries were generally referred to as Indo-Pacific glass beads. Various shapes and colors of glass beads are found on Kampai Island, Langkat Regency, Sumatera Utara. Collected data of glass beads were obtained from archaeological excavations in Kampai Island. In analyzing varieties of glass beads, this study characterizes the variety of Kampai Island glass beads based on their typology and frequency, i.e., drawn glass beads and wound glass beads. A number of these glass beads were analyzed in the laboratory to identify the composition of the ingredients. In determining the origin of glass beads production, this study used a comparative method on some published research. Through comparison of the findings of glass beads wastes from Arikamedu and glass beads production centers in Papanaidupet (India) and Gudo (Indonesia), the result finds that Kampai Island was a glass beads production site in the Malacca Strait region between 11th–14th centuries. The emergence of Kampai island as a glass beads production site in the 11th century was likely a result of geopolitical conditions. Glass bead making traditions spread to Kampai Island as Cōla Kingdom influences rose in Malacca Strait region after its expansion to several places in that region
