Liang Panningnge, one of cave sites in Maros Region, South Sulawesi, provides information about the exploitation of animals especially pig (Suidae) by the cave inhabitants. The aim of this research to know more about the behavior and subsistence strategy related to the existence of Suidae. The methods of analyses includes tafonomy analysis, species and elements identification, Number of Identified Specimen (NISP), Minimum Number of Individuals (MNI), Minimum Number of Elements (MNE), age of death, and Linear Enamel Hypoplasia (LEH) analyses. The results showed that there were two species of Suidae that were consumed along the four occupation phases at Liang Panningnge, i.e. Sus celebensis and Babyrousa celebensis. The existence of Toalean tools, especially Maros point and other stones points throughout the habitation period showed that both species of Suidae were hunted. Incomplete elements of each species showed that the preys were possibly butchered inside and outside the site, and specific elements were shared among the group members. There was an indication of management or even domestication of Suidae as shown by the high index of LEH in the third phase. This notion is also supported by significant increase of juvenile and immature Suidae.
Archaeological researches at Gunung Wingko Site, Kecamatan Sanden, Bantul, had been conducted formore than 40 years ago. Nevertheless, the results of observations, interviews, Focus Group Discussions(FGD), and archaeological exhibition on Sanden Fair 2018 indicate that the existence and the culturalsignifcance of the site had only been known by certain communities. Local people unawareness of theexistence and the cultural signifcance of the site had so far caused site damage. Terefore, a number ofaction plans have been suggested during the FGD that involved the local people and some institutionsrelevant to the case of Gunung Wingko, and have to be done as soon as possible to prevent the sitefrom further damage. Te plans comprise dissemination of the site values, the establishment of thesite as cultural heritage (Cagar Budaya), site management, and the development of a site informationcenter. Tis center could be integrated with other tourist destinations which have been establishedaround the site. In this case, local people should be involved in preparing material displayed in theGunung Wingko Site Information Center.
Kalumpang is one of the important regions for archaeology related to the existence of Neolithic and the Early Metal Age settlement remains. The finds provide knowledge about the history of early habitation of the Indonesian Archipelago by the Austronesian speaking people. One of the important finds from three prehistoric sites in the Kalumpang area, namely the Minanga Sipakko, Kamassi, and Palemba sites, is potsherds with various decorations. Pottery is still survives today in the Kalumpang area, although its production is only based on consumer demand. On the contrary, handwoven production tend to increase significantly. Considering that pottery has played an important role in daily lives and rituals since the Prehistoric Period, this cultural heritage needs to be preserved. So far, there is no one who are interested in finding strategies to increase pottery production and attract the public's attention. Therefore, the team of research and Community Service from Archaeology Department Universitas Gadjah Mada need to identify: (1) the types of pottery that are still being produced by potters in the Kalumpang area; (2) early Neolithic-Metallic pottery decorative motif elements that can be applied to Kalumpang pottery that is still being produced; (3) new types of products related to the production of Kalumpang pottery. The results of identification are then set forth in the pottery motif design development module. This module can be used by various parties as an initial reference for developing pottery products. Agents of change, such as teachers and members of Karangtaruna, are expected to be able to use the modules to inspire traditional potters to continue their production by utilizing local cultural heritage. It is hoped that the production of Kalumpang pottery will be sustained and open up insight and concern for the wider community towards the cultural wealth of their ancestors. ==== Kalumpang merupakan salah satu wilayah penting dalam kajian arkeologi terkait adanya temuan sisa permukiman Neolitik dan Masa Logam Awal yang dapat memberikan sumbangan pengetahuan tentang sejarah penghunian Kepulauan Indonesia oleh penutur bahasa Melayu Polinesia (rumpun bahasa Austronesia). Salah satu temuan penting dari tiga situs Prasejarah di wilayah Kalumpang ialah Situs Minanga Sipakko, Kamassi, dan Palemba, yaitu fragmen tembikar dengan berbagai ragam hias. Di wilayah tersebut, tembikar masih diproduksi, tetapi hanya bila ada pemesan. Hal ini berbanding terbalik dengan produksi tenun yang cenderung meningkat secara signifikan. Mengingat tembikar sejak Masa Prasejarah menjadi barang penting dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan ritual serta masih ada pembuatnya, warisan budaya ini perlu dilestarikan. Sejauh ini, belum ada pihak yang peduli dan berminat untuk mencari strategi agar produksi tembikar kembali meningkat dan diminati masyarakat luas. Oleh karena itu, Tim Penelitian-Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat Arkeologi UGM melakukan identifikasi terhadap: (1) jenis tembikar yang masih diproduksi oleh perajin di wilayah Kalumpang; (2) elemen motif hias tembikar Masa Neolitik-Logam Awal yang dapat diterapkan pada tembikar yang masih diproduksi; (3) bentuk produk baru terkait dengan produksi tembikar Kalumpang. Hasil identifikasi tersebut selanjutnya dituangkan dalam modul pengembangan desain motif tembikar. Modul tersebut dapat dipakai oleh berbagi pihak sebagai acuan awal untuk melakukan pengembangan produk tembikar. Agen perubahan, seperti guru dan anggota Karangtaruna, diharapkan dapat menggunakan modul tersebut untuk menginspirasi para perajin tembikar tradisional agar tetap berproduksi dengan memanfaatkan warisan budaya setempat. Dengan demikian, diharapkan produksi tembikar Kalumpang tetap lestari dan membuka wawasan serta kepedulian masyarakat luas terhadap kekayaan budaya nenek moyang.
The Maros-Pangkep karst region in South Sulawesi always attracts national and international attention due to its distinctive archaeological remains which include stone flakes, bone tools and rock arts. Large numbers of artworks, especially human hand stencil, have been found together with naturalistic local fauna and geometric images in 93 caves in the Maros-Pangkep region. The hand stencils, in red or brown colour, are also known as negative paintings because the pigment is sprayed around and over the hands; thus the left hand pattern is surrounded by patchy colour. This motif is more universal compared to the animal depictions or geometric designs. A small number of black drawn figurative and geometric designs have also been found, but only in Pangkep region.The richness of artworks in the Maros-Pangkep karsts had motivated Cecep Eka Permana to carry out a PhD research in this region. He focused solely on hand stencils which are distributed in 54 caves and rock shelters in this region. The figures, more than 500 in total, consisted of three types: mere hands, hands with arm wrists, and hands through the arms. All hand stencils which were still in good condition from 12 caves in Pangkep and 24 caves in Maros, were examined in detail based on variations of the directions of the hands, their sizes, colours, and positions in the caves or rock shelters, with the aim of finding out the patterns.In his book, Gambar tangan gua-gua prasejarah; Pangkep-Maros-Sulawesi Selatan, Permana mentions that the hand stencils are scattered on the walls of rock shelters, on both sides of the walls near the entrances, on the ceilings or inner walls of the caves. The figures are arranged as single images or sometimes in clusters; they are mostly brown in colour, although many of them are red. The numbers of the fingers are varied-five, four, or three-but most of them are complete.Many researchers believe that rock arts were produced intentionally, and Permana seems to be one of them. The research he carried out revealed some interesting patterns among the artworks from the Maros-Pangkep region. In the book, he suggests that there are correlations between the small number of certain types of hands (for instance, hands through arms or hand through Anggraeni |
The use of Gunung Wingko for modern settlements has a significant impact on the preservation of the site. One of the efforts that can be done to prevent the widespread damage to the site is by disseminating important values and determining the site as a cultural heritage. Considering that this stipulation can trigger conflict, it is necessary to carry out careful preparation accompanied by socialization of the values (culture and knowledge) and dialogue with stakeholders through FGD. Sanden Fair, which is an annual event, is one of the means of disseminating research results that have long been carried out at the Mount Wingko Site and the importance of the site. In order to maintain awareness of the importance of the site, an embryo of Gunung Wingko Site Information Center was created. In the future, local communities can be involved in filling out the materials and managing the Information Center that has been initiated. In a FGD involving all stakeholders in Bantul Regency and the DIY Cultural Heritage Conservation Office, it was found that the designation of Gunung Wingko as a cultural heritage was constrained by the absence of site delineation. The Department of Archaeology FIB UGM team proposes gradual protection, starting from the determination of the area of the core zone which refers to the results of previous research. Communities living around the site also need to be involved in the activity of determining Gunung Wingko as a cultural heritage and need to get accurate information about the consequences and impacts of determining the site.====Pemanfatan Situs Gunung Wingko untuk permukiman baru telah membawa dampak yang signifikan terhadap kelestarian situs. Salah satu upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk mencegah meluasnya kerusakan situs adalah dengan melakukan sosialisasi nilai penting dan penetapan situs sebagai Cagar Budaya. Mengingat penetapan tersebut dapat memicu konflik, maka perlu dilakukan persiapan matang disertai sosialisasi nilai penting (kebudayaan dan pengetahuan) dan dialog dengan para stakeholder melalui FGD. Sanden Fair yang merupakan acara tahunan menjadi salah satu sarana sosialisasi hasil penelitian yang telah lama dilakukan di Situs Gunung Wingko dan nilai penting situs. Guna menjaga kesadaran tentang nilai penting situs tersebut, maka dibuatlah embrio Pusat Informasi Situs Gunung Wingko. Masyarakat setempat ke depan dapat dilibatkan dalam pengisian materi dan pengelolaan Pusat Informasi yang telah dirintis. Dalam FGD yang melibatkan seluruh stakeholder di Kabupaten Bantul dan Balai Pelestarian Cagar Budaya DIY diketahui bahwa penetapan Gunung Wingko sebagai Cagar Budaya terkendala oleh belum adanya delineasi situs. Tim Departemen Arkeologi FIB UGM mengusulkan pelindungan bertahap, dimulai dari penetapan luasan zona inti yang mengacu pada hasil penelitian terdahulu. Masyarakat yang tinggal di sekitar situs juga perlu dilibatkan dalam kegiatan penetapan Gunung Wingko sebagai Cagar Budaya dan perlu mendapat informasi yang tepat mengenai konsekuensi dan dampak penetapan situs.
