Artefak Dalam Konteks Pemanfaatan Gua Sebagai Dapur Gambir di Ngalau Datuk Marajo Ali, Lembah Harau, Sumatera Barat
Full text linkAbstractNgalau (Cave) Datuk Marajo Ali is located at Jorong Koto Nan Gadang, Kenagarian (State) of Pilubang, Harau District, Lima Puluh Kota Regency. Ngalau Datuk Marajo Ali is facing southwest (2100) with an opening of 10 m wide. The depth of its front space is 9.5 m, while behind it is a passage 10 m long with a sloping front slope. The ngalau has wide enough room with low cave roof at the back. The problems are: how are the relations between artifacts, space utility, and the forms of activities that took place at Ngalau Datuk Marajo Ali? How are they compared to the artifacts found at other cave around Harau Valley? The method employed during data collection phase was explorative using inductive reasoning, while the writing method was qualitative-descriptive. In general Ngalau Datuk Marajo Ali has wide enough space without stalactite or stalagmite, and is divided into southwest and northeast sections. The southwest section has lower surface than the northeast section. The rock surface of the northeast section is relatively flat so that it was comfortable to sit or stand there, except in the innermost part. Results of the excavation show that the activities in the southwest section were varied, based on the artifacts, artifactual context, and stratigraphy. It shows that the cave was used several times for different purposes. It is assumed that the activities were related to the Paderi War (1821 – 1838) as a hiding place, a hiding place during Indonesian independence war (before 1945), and gambir processing activities (gambir kitchen) in around 1945sAbstrakNgalau Datuk Marajo Ali terletak di Jorong Koto Nan Gadang, Kenagarian Pilubang, Kecamatan Harau, Kabupaten Lima Puluh Kota. Ngalau Datuk Marajo Ali menghadap ke baratdaya (2100) dengan lebar pintu gua 10 m dan kedalaman ruangan depan 9,5 m dan dibelakangnya terdapat lorong sedalam 10 m dengan lereng di depannya melandai. Ngalau tersebut memiliki dimensi ruang cukup lebar dengan atap gua rendah pada bagian belakang. Adapun permasalahannya adalah bagaimana kaitan antara artefak, pemanfaatan ruang, serta bentuk aktivitas yang berlangsung di Ngalau Datuk Marajo Ali? Bagaimana perbandingan dengan artefak di ngalau-ngalau lain di sekitar Lembah Harau? Metode yang digunakan dalam pengumpulan data bertipe eksploratif menggunakan alur penalaran induktif. Metode penulisannya adalah kualitatifdeskriptif. Secara umum Ngalau Datuk Marajo Ali memilki ruangan yang cukup lapang, tanpa stalagtit dan stalagmit, terbagi menjadi dua yaitu di baratdaya dan timurlaut. Di bagian baratdaya kondisi permukaannya lebih rendah dibandingkan dengan timurlaut. Permukaan bebatuan di timurlaut relatif rata, sehingga nyaman untuk duduk atau berdiri, kecuali di bagian paling dalam. Hasil ekskavasi menggambarkan bahwa di bagian baratdaya pemanfaatanya cukup beragam berdasarkan analisa terhadap temuan, konteks temuan, dan stratigrafinya. Hasilnya adalah gua ini dimanfaatkan berulang kali untuk kebutuhan yang berbeda. Diperkirakan aktivitas yang berlangsung berkaitan dengan persembunyian pada masa perang Paderi (1821--1838), persembunyian pada masa perang kemerdekaan (sebelum 1945), serta aktivitas pengolahan gambir dengan dapur gambir sekitar tahun 1945 -an
Permukiman Kawasan Danau Masa Lalu Di Jawa Timur
Full text linkArchaeology without its public is nothing, it is a disturbing expression for archaeologists, which encourages them to make a policy that every archaeological research benefited the general public. Academically this study is hoped to find settlement patterns in the past around lakes. Furthermore, the study also tries to find models of the local wisdom of their communities. Values in local wisdom are very important for today’s communities and future generations. Considering the aim of the research, the method used is descriptive explorative with an inductive approach, while data collecting is done by carrying out excavations and surveys. It is hoped that the researchers can reveal how people lived in lake areas in the past. The condition of lake areas in the past both its communities and surrounding environment is the dream of future generations. This is the essence of studying archaeology because archaeology studies life in the past to be actualized and implemented in today’s life for the sake of the future generations.
Situs Arjuna Metapa Di Gianyar, Bali: Sebuah Patirthan?
Full text linkEvery archaeological remain is always found in context with certain space and building architecture. This is also the case with the archaeological finds at the site of Arjuna Metapa at Pejeng Village in Gianyar, Bali. Uncovering a holy bathing place is the focus of this research, which is based on supporting data in form of archaeological data found within the location. The methods being used to solve the problem are divided into two: data collection and data analyses. Data collecting involves surface survey, bibliographical study, and interviews, while data analyses include qualitative-artifactual analysis, comparative and correlation analysis, location/spatial analysis, and physical traces analysis. Data obtained from research and analyses reveal that the Arjuna Metapa Site was a patirthan (holy bathing place) with water spouts, indicated by two spouted statues on Arjuna Metapa pedestal, which are meditating Arjuna spouted statue and angel spouted statue. Supporting data in form of an angel statue, which has similar form and size, was also found at the Village Temple (Pura Desa) of Bedulu. Oral tradition also mentions that the area was known by the name of Uma Telaga and is believed to be a rice field that was previously a lake or bathing place. This is confirmed by the discovery of Air Tiga inscription in that location. The name Air Tiga (air means water and tiga means three) is probably refer to the number of statues found in that location, which is one meditating Arjuna spouted statue and two angels spouted statues
