Many people believe that many objects of the heritage changed hands to areas outside Indo-nesia, both in Asia and Europe. Legislation on the protection of cultural heritage that we have seems to be incapable to prevent or handle even restore objects that have been taken abroad, which leads to blaming the lack of budget, equipment, human resources and others. Therefore, the legislation should review other aspects such as international conventions, which may adopt the articles to strengthen the implementation of existing legislation in Indonesia. Of course it should also be noted that other related laws including in this case the need to encourage the inclusion of chapters on offense Law on Cultural Heritage in the Code of Criminal Law discourse ever to be amended. A more detailed elaboration of the chapters contained in the Law on Cultural Heritage through regulation at the level below adapted to current situations also need to be resolved immediately. Keywords: international conventions, cultural heritage, the product of legislation, national and international situation abstrak Tulisan ini didasarkan pada rasa keprihatinan akan berlangsungnya berbagai kasus hilangnya benda cagar budaya baik yang ada di situs maupun yang tersimpan di museum yang ada di Indonesia. Banyak pihak yang meyakini bahwa benda-benda warisan leluhur tersebut banyak berpindah tangan ke wilayah luar Indonesia baik di Asia maupun Eropa. Undang-undang tentang perlindungan cagar budaya yang ada sepertinya tidak mampu mencegah atau menangani bahkan mengembalikan benda-benda yang sudah dibawa ke luar negeri, yang berujung pada penyalahan atas minimnya anggaran, peralatan, sumber daya manusia dan sebagainya. Oleh karena itu, perlu dikaji aspek perundangan lain seperti konvensi internasional, yang mungkin dapat diadopsi pasal-pasalnya untuk memperkuat perundangan yang ada di Indonesia. Perlu juga diperhatikan perundangan lain yang terkait termasuk mendorong masuknya pasal tentang pelanggaran CB dalam

The central focus is to re-describe the distribution of natural products as commodities from outside the city of Semarang (Ambarawa, Salatiga, Kend-al) to the main destination, Semarang. The targets are economically significant colonial buildings in Semarang and its surrounding areas as the means of distribution. Through surveys, as well as study of old maps and literatures, it is revealed that the remains related to the distribution of sugar, kapuk, tea, and coffee that can still be retraced are railway stations, warehouses, sugar factories, kapuk/textile factories, and export-import trading offices. The economic network between Semarang and its surrounding areas was and still is a production and distribution network. The position of Semarang was the centre of trade activities, from marketing to export of trade commodities through Sema-rang harbor. The railway system connected Semarang to the surrounding areas, while the commodities from the plantations were the boosters of economic life of Semarang and the surrounding areas. abstrak Tulisan ini berada pada lingkup arkeologi kolonial Hindia Belanda pertengahan abad ke-19 hingga awal abad ke-20.

Neolithic sites were found in the area were the site which contained the remains of artifacts as traces of workshop activity such as square pickaxe. Artifacts remains of pickaxe workshop activities in which among others found the pickaxe, half made pickaxe, chips and flakes. Neolithic sites were scattered in this area which consist of six different sites. The purpose of this paper was to determine the placement pattern and its underlying factors. Knowledge of the placement pattern is expected to give clues about human behavior pattern in utilizing space (natural environment) for their activities. The method used were both qualitative and quantitative method. The purpose is to determine the qualitative and quantitative placement patterns for the analysis of the underlying factors. Analysis was performed by using environmental analysis. The pattern of placement in neolithic sites of Cineam region were using river flow patterns. The river as a neolithic site placement played an important basis for human activities were also taken into account as the potential area which were based on appropriate environmental conditions such as, good altitude, slope, fertility, as well as the availability of water and raw materials provided by the river.

The subject found in these ancient terraces were the findings of several Paleolithic tools and vertebrate fossils. Therefore, the aim of the study was to find out the extension of the terrace and to provide a guidance for archaeologists in searching the remains of ancient human culture such as Paleolithic tools and vertebrate fossils. On behalf of the study, firstly the geological mapping was conducted in the studied area and were also to describe the sediment profile and to collect sediment samples (including vertebrate fossils) and also for sedimentary and chemical analysis. In the area studied there were three ancient terraces which were known as, Menden, Jipangulu and Ngandong. Menden terrace (sub-Recent) was exposed at Payaman, Jipangulu terrace (Early Holocene) in Prangi and Wotangare, and Ngandong terrace at Prangi and Kedung village (Solo valley). In the context of stratigraphy, the whole ancient terraces were composed of gravel and coarse sand in the lower part to sandy clay in the upper part. This indicated that the whole terraces were formed by the meandering river of ancient Bengawan Solo. The position of those ancient terraces were relative to the position of recent Bengawan Solo is 2-3 m (Menden terrace), 5-7 m (Jipangulu terrace) and more than 8 m in length (Ngandong terrace). Based on this study, the archaeologists should focus on the gravel to coarse sedimentary strata of the quaternary fluvial system on behalf of searching the cultural artifact of paleolithic including the fossilized remains of human and other quaternary vertebrates within the ancient terrace of Bengawan Solo.
