The research yielded a lot of knowledge related migration and cultural development. While similar research in other areas such as small islands in northern Java has not been explored much yet. This is because of the view that the condition of the islands is considered to be the same as that of Java. The islands were geochronologically separated from Java at least since the beginning of the Holocene and culturally different. This paper attempts to present the results of the latest research on Kangean Island as one of the small islands in northern Java and seeks to position the data in the context of prehistoric archaeology in Indonesia. The data used in this paper come from the results of a recent research conducted in 2018 and 2019 (primary data) and literature studies (secondary data) to obtain an archaeological picture of Indonesian prehistory.

Here we report five new painted rock-art sites from Kisar Island in eastern Indonesia and investigate the commonalities between this art and the painted art corpus in Timor-Leste, the independent nation that forms the eastern part of the neighbouring island of Timor. We examine the motifs in the Kisar art and suggest that, rather than being Neolithic in age, some of the figurative motifs more likely have a Metal Age origin, which in this region places them within the last 2500 years.

Nevertheless, the challenges and risks inherent in maintaining stable populations on small islands can be offset or overcome through the use of maritime technologies and exchange networks. The archaeology of Here Sorot Entapa rockshelter (HSE) on Kisar Island in the Wallacean Archipelago provides an unparalleled record for examining these issues in Southeast Asia. Kisar is the smallest of the Wallacean islands known to have a Pleistocene occupation record, and one of the smallest permanently inhabited today. Our results indicate that Here Sorot Entapa was first occupied in the terminal Pleistocene by people with advanced maritime technology who made extensive use of local marine resources and engaged in social connections with other islands through an obsidian exchange network. As a result, populations appear to have been maintained on the island for approximately 6,000 years. In the early Holocene occupation at HSE ceased for unknown reasons, and the site was not reoccupied until the mid-Holocene, during which time a major change in the lithic resources can be observed and the exchange network appears to have ceased.

Here we review the published records of cave and rockshelter sites across the country to compile a complete list of dates for initial occupation at each site. All radiocarbon dates are calibrated here for standardization, many of them for the first time in publication. Our results indicate a clear disparity in the distribution of dated archaeological sites across Indonesia, which seem to be mostly influenced by ease of access, international collaboration focus, and the history of prior research success in a region. In addition, our review of the literature revealed a clear lack of standardization in the presentation of radiocarbon dates and their usage in publications. Despite the impressive increase in dating across Indonesia, our review of the literature suggests numerous excavated prehistoric sites in Indonesia remain undated at this time. Studies such...

Those theme relates to landscapes, environmental changes, site formation and human adaptation processes. Faunal ecofact and artifact are commonly used as research data nowdays. Analysis of plants residu are less common because of the scarcity of those remains in the archaeological sites,especially prehistory. This paper attempts to explain some possible uses of microscopic plant residua analysis in the form of phytolith and starch for environmental studies. The method used in this paper is literature study on microbotani as well as imitation experiments by combining several methods ever undertaken by previous researchers. This study shows that the plants remains , especially the microbotany form of phytolith and starch provide significant information about the types of plants in the pass, environmental changes and their utilization by humans.

ABSTRAK Sejak 35 tahun terakhir, Indonesia mengalami peningkatan dalam usaha pertanggalan situs gua dan ceruk dari 10 ke 99. Di sini, kami meninjau ulang data gua dan ceruk yang telah dipublikasikan untuk menghimpun daftar yang lengkap terkait jejak hunian tertua di setiap si-tus. Kami melakukan kalibrasi terhadap setiap pertanggalan radiocarbon sebagai bentuk standardisasi. Beberapa di antaranya belum pernah dilakukan kalibrasi sebelumnya. Temuan kami mengindikasikan disparitas yang jelas pada distribusi situs yang telah dipertanggali di seluruh Indonesia, yang sebagian besar kemungkinan dipengaruhi oleh kemudahan akses, fokus kolaborasi internasional, dan kesuksesan penelitian sebelumnya di area yang bersangkutan. Sebagai tambahan, tinjauan pustaka kami menemukan kurangnya standardisasi dalam mempresentasikan dan cara menggunakan data pertanggalan dalam publikasi. Meski terdapat peningkatan yang sangat mengesankan dalam jumlah pertanggalan di Indonesia, masih banyak situs yang sudah diekskavasi namun belum dipertanggali hingga saat ini. Studi seperti ini, dan beberapa yang lebih berfokus pada situs-situs arkeologi di Indonesia lainnya, sangat bermanfaat untuk menyediakan data yang lengkap demi menjawab pertanyaan yang lebih besar.

The presence of Pajang's people in the Islamic Mataram Kingdom can be seen from politic and economic side. The Pajang Kingdom which is master in early, became gradually fell after the death of Hadiwijaya, and turned into a vassal state of Islamic Mataram Kingdom. This political condition's change coused pros and contras among the Pajang's people theirself. This article tries to reveal the history and background of the existence of Pajang's people at their new place, in the centre of Islamic Mataram Kingdom government. Pendahuluan Setelah runtuhnya Kerajaan Majapahit, munculah beberapa kerajaan Islam di Pulau Jawa. Pertama adalah kerajaan Demak yang didirikan oleh Raden Patah yang masih memiliki hubungan kerabat dengan Raja Majapahit. Raden Patah merupakan anak dari Brawijaya V yang kemudian belajar agama Islam kepada Sunan Ampel. Kerajaan Demak kemudian menjadi awal munculnya kerajaan-kerajaan Islam di Pulau Jawa. Kerajaan Demak berpusat di daerah Bintoro yang berada di sebelah timur dari Kota Semarang. Kemunculan Kerajaan Demak Budha. Pada saat kerajaan Demak mengalami kemunduran yang disebabkan oleh perebutan kekuasaan munculah tokoh yang bernama Jaka Tingkir (Ricklefs, 1978, dalam Inajati, 2000:109). Tokoh inilah yang kemudian memindahkan Pusat pemerintahan ke daerah pedalaman yang dinamakan Pajang dan berkuasa di daerah tersebut dengan gelar Sultan Hadiwijaya. Kerajaan Pajang memiliki daerah kekuasaan yang cukup luas diantaranya adalah wilayah desa Mataram yang berada di wilayah hutan Mentaok atau sebelah barat Pajang. KAJIAN BANDINGAN

Di sini, kami meninjau ulang data gua dan ceruk yang telah dipublikasikan untuk menghimpun daftar yang lengkap terkait jejak hunian tertua di setiap si-tus. Kami melakukan kalibrasi terhadap setiap pertanggalan radiocarbon sebagai bentuk standardisasi. Beberapa di antaranya belum pernah dilakukan kalibrasi sebelumnya. Temuan kami mengindikasikan disparitas yang jelas pada distribusi situs yang telah dipertanggali di seluruh Indonesia, yang sebagian besar kemungkinan dipengaruhi oleh kemudahan akses, fokus kolaborasi internasional, dan kesuksesan penelitian sebelumnya di area yang bersangkutan. Sebagai tambahan, tinjauan pustaka kami menemukan kurangnya standardisasi dalam mempresentasikan dan cara menggunakan data pertanggalan dalam publikasi. Meski terdapat peningkatan yang sangat mengesankan dalam jumlah pertanggalan di Indonesia, masih banyak situs yang sudah diekskavasi namun belum dipertanggali hingga saat ini. Studi seperti ini, dan beberapa yang lebih berfokus pada situs-situs arkeologi di Indonesia lainnya, sangat bermanfaat untuk menyediakan data yang lengkap demi menjawab pertanyaan yang lebih besar.
