illings in the Punung karstic area Pacitan, East Java. In Sangiran, the objective is to precise the age, the state of preservation and the palaeoenvironment of c.
O.S M.a. layers, paying special attention to 2 cultural record that resembles the Acheulian tradition. In Punung, the objective is to document the period ranging
from 0.35 M.a. to the Holocene, that begins at a time when Homo erectus lived in Java Island, then witnessed the replacement of Homo erectus by Homo sapiens.
Holocene layers are of major importance tounderstand the social adaptations and dispersals that occurred after a critical sea level rise of c. 120 m.
Field and -most of- analytical activities will be carried out on and near the site, in close collaboration with institutional and local government responsible for
heritage conservation. Field campaigns will be the opportunity to train young technicians and students in an international atmosphere.

30. Cultural interactions between Java and Sumatra during the 8th - 12th centuries
Tujuan Penelitian : Memahami keterhubungan budaya antara Jawa
dan Sumatra dengan mempelajari budaya material dan mengeksplorasi tiga hal yang diharapkan dapat
mereleksikan interaksi antara kedua pulau tersebut: 1 Hinduisme di Sumatra, 2 kerajinan perunggu, 3 seni di
pantai utara Jawa
Bidang Penelitian : Arkeologi
Daerah Penelitian : DKI Jakarta, Jateng, Sumsel, Sumbar, Lampung, Jambi, Sumut
Lama Penelitian : 12 dua belas bulan mulai 19 Januari 2012
Mitra Kerja : Puslitbang Arkeologi Nasional - Agustijanto Indradjaya
Abstrak
The present research proposal would like, at its humble scale, to encourage a joint relexion on the cultural relationships between Java and Sumatra. The study will
focus on material culture. It was initially planned to explore three themes that would relect some degree of interaction between the two islands: 1 the art
of the northern coast of Java, 2 bronze craftmanship, 3 Hinduism in Sumatra. Unfortunately, due to the lack of cooperation of the Museum Nasional, our second
theme had to be abandoned and we have been focusing on the two other themes and, especially on the archaeology of Java’s north coast.
Please note that the research proposed here will be carried out over several years. The completion of certain parts of the research depends on the availability of
subsidies.
Sumatra and Java have had contacts with one another since centuries: references to Java are found in late 7th century Sriwijaya inscriptions and several shipwrecks
are proof of the existence of a commercial relationship between both islands. Besides, the most famous dynasty of Central Java, that of the Sailendras, had,
according to the inscriptions, a close connection with Sriwijaya. Beyond these trade and political relationships, the present research would like to try to

determine to what extent early Sumatranese and Javanese cultures inluenced one another and, more speciically, to what extent they shared artistic traditions.
In most the litterature, the Buddhist kingdoms of Sumatra are opposed to the Hindu kingdoms of Central Java. The accent is on rivalry and political domination
rather than on exchange and cultural interactions. With this research, I would like to explore the latter.
One place where Javanese and Sumatran traditions possibly met is the northern coast of Central Java. This area was most than certainly an important point of
contact between Java and the outer world. Hence part of the present study will be devoted to mapping, taking pictures, discribing the sculptures found along
the northern coast of Java and try to assess their relationship with Central Java and with the Malay world.
I would also like to raise the question of the place of Hinduism in Sumatra. While we get a clearer picture of the status of Buddhism and Hinduism in Java – and
of the role played by Buddhism in the development of Central Javanese artistic traditions, we know little about the role of Hinduism on Sumatra. Hindu sculptures
are mentioned in passim but the Hindu art of Sumatra has never been studied as such. This is all the more suprising given that one of the largest temple complexes
of Sumatra – Bumiayu - is obviously Hindu. In an island that is often presented as a Buddhist stronghold, the very existence of such a site raises many questions.
Did Hinduism reach beyond Bumiayu? To what extent was it a Javanese inluence or a local development? Is Hinduism linked to a speciic period? Do Javanese and
Sumatranese Hinduism share the same features?

31. Dispersal and Evolution of Hominins and Early Modern Humans in the Maros-Pangkep karts of South Sulawesi, Indonesia 2013-2015
Tujuan Penelitian : Melanjutkan penggalian di Leang Burung 2 dan situs lain
di Maros untuk mendapat informasi yang lebih dalam mengenai distribusi spasial dan kronologis dari sisa-sisa
hewan, artefak bebatuan, itur paleolanskap, dan proses deposisi

Abstrak
The proposed research project 2013-2015 aims to explore the record of occupation in Sulawesi and surrounding parts of Indonesia by early modern
humans Homo sapiens and earlier species of hominins, with a particular focus on evidence from the Maros karst region of South Sulawesi. The broad goal of
the project is to document the pattern and timing of early human and hominin dispersal and evolution in the study areas. Speciic research objectives include
systematic archaeological survey and excavations of key rockshelter, cave and open-air sites in the Maros karsts e.g., Leang Burung 2 and surrounding limestone
areas, and preliminary survey and investigation of adjacent parts of Indonesia relevant to our understanding of early human and hominin colonization routes
to and from Sulawesi. The project will be funded by the Australian Research Council and involves a collaborative research partnership between the National
Centre for Archaeology ARKENAS in Jakarta and the Centre for Archaeological Science, School of Earth Environmental Sciences, University of Wollongong,
Australia.
