Gunungwingko is an archaeological site located in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta Province. This site was used from 0 AD to 17th century. In 1978 excavation, there were 19 isolated teeth found in excavation box T.P. Geo. IV from 170 – 220 cm in depth. The objective of this research is to identify Minimum Number Individual (MNI), and also their influences to health status and cultural point of view. The method being used for this research is bioarchaeological method with macroscopic analysis. We concluded that the MNI is four individuals based on four third left maxillary molars. Dental diseases such as dental attrition, dental caries, enamel hypoplasia, chipped tooth, and buccal pit can be observed in some of the teeth. Moreover, cultural influences also can be found in some of the teeth in form of dental modification (pangur) and betel chewing. One of the teeth showed evidence of multiple dental modification which possibly happened because of adulthood ceremonial and matrimonial/death ceremonial.
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempresentasikan osteobiografi seorang individu yang berasal dari situs kubur masa Paleolitik Gilimanuk, Bali. Material yang dipergunakan adalah individu nomor 38 yang disimpan pada Laboratorium Bioantropologi dan Paleoantropologi, Universitas Gadjah Mada. Metode yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah analisis makroskopis, tanpa menggunakan proses destruktif.Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa individu nomor 38 memiliki jenis kelamin perempuan dengan umur sekitar 50 tahun ketika individu ini meninggal. Selain itu, individu ini memiliki beberapa gangguan kesehatan diantaranya atrisi gigi pada seluruh permukaan giginya, trauma pada molar pertama maxilla kiri, salah satu rusuk kanan patah ketika masih hidup dan telah tersambung dengan baik, adanya kemungkinan parturisi, adanya degenerasi persendian temporomandibular atau porositas yang terdapat pada fossa mandibularis. Adanya osteopit dan porositas pada beberapa bagian tulang seperti pada ossa carpi, ossa tarsi, ruas tulang belakang, dan keberadaan eburnasi atau kilapan pada bagian talus yang dapat diidentikkan dengan gejala osteoarthritis.
This research discuss human remain GLM LVI from Paleometallic sites called Gilimanuk, which located in Bali. The aims of this study is to find abnormalities, diseases, and culturaland habitual influences to the individual using macroscopical analysis from osteoarchaeological perspective. The results from this research shows this individual was female with age at death between 35-40 years old. She is interesting to be discussed because she shown evidence of kneeling and using her index finger extensively when she was alive. Moreover there were some diseases such as dental calculus, dental caries, periodontal, dental abscess, and cultural influences to her remain which are betel chewing and dental modification. Penelitian ini membahas mengenai rangka manusia individu GLM LVI yang berasal dari situs Paleometalik Gilimanuk di Desa Gilimanuk, Bali. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat penyakit dan pengaruh budaya terhadap rangka, dengan menggunakan metode analisis makroskopis dan pendekatan osteoarkeologis. Individu ini adalah seorang perempuan yang berusia 35 - 40 tahun ketika mati. Karakteristik ekstrimitas bawahnya menunjukkan bahwa individu ini sering melakukan aktivitas berlutut dan secara ekstensif menggunakan jari telunjuk pada masa hidupnya. Analisis patologis menunjukkan adanya beberapa jenis penyakit gigi, antara lain kalkulus, karies, periodontal, dan abses. Selain itu terdapat pengaruh kebudayaan berupa konsumsi pinang dan sirih, dan modifikasi gigi. Kata kunci: Gilimanuk, osteoarkeologi, berlutut, menginang
Tulisan ini melaporkan hasil kajian untuk mengenali identitas individu pada sisa-sisa manusia yang ditemukan tanpa konteks di Kesihan, Bali. Identifikasi yang dilakukan meliputi jenis kelamin, umur ketika mati, penyakit, bukti kebudayaan dan pengaruh lingkungan terhadap individu. Kajian ini menggunakan metode analisis makroskopis dan paleopatologis untuk mendapatkan petunjuk morfologis. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa individu ini adalah seorang perempuan berumur antara 40-50 tahun ketika mati. Bagian incisivus maksila berbentuk seperti sekop yang merupakan penanda ras Mongoloid. Gigi geliginya menunjukkan adanya hipoplasia enamel, karies, dan kebiasaan mengunyah pinang sirih. Adanya dental chipping, atrisi yang berat dan cekungan pada occlusal premolar menunjukkan bahwa individu ini mempunyai kebiasaan menggigit benda berbentuk tabung kecil dan panjang dalam hidup kesehariannya. Terdapat bukti modifikasi pada gigi incisivus dengan pengikiran keempat sisinya, yang kini sudah tidak lagi dilakukan di Bali. Tentunya, individu ini hidup dalam lingkungan budaya Bali Kuno. === The study reported in this article aims to reveal individual identity of human remains discovered without any context in Kesihan (or Kesian), Bali, Indonesia. The identification includes sex, age at death, diseases, as well as cultural and environmental aspects of the individual. This study used macroscopic and palaeo-pathological analysis. The result shows that this individual is a 40-50 years old female. She has shoveled-teeth indicating her Mongoloid racial affinities. The teeth bear evidence of caries, enamel hypoplasia, and betel chewing marks. The occurrence of dental chipping, heavy attrition, and indentation on the occlusal premolar indicates that the individual used to bite something small, long, and tubular in her daily activities. The incisors show tooth-modification by dental filing on the four sides which is currently not practiced in Bali. Apparently, the individual belongs to the ancient Balinese culture.
Recently, Banjarejo became an important prehistoric site for Quaternary research because of its significant faunal and hominin remains. This study aims to describe a new finding of the hominin femur specimen from the site and its taxonomical position in human evolution. The specimen was identified by morphological and metric descriptions of the external feature of the femur. Then, comparative study to Homo erectus (n=2), Homo neanderthalensis (n=8), Homo heidelbergensis (n=1), prehistoric Homo sapiens (n=44), Australopithecus africanus (n=1), Paranthropus robustus (n=2), also non-human primate including Pongo (n=1), Macaca (n=1) and Gibbon (n=1) using bivariate and multivariate statistical analysis presented the specimen in the evolutionary perspective. This study shows the morphological and metric character of Banjarejo specimen located between Homo erectus and prehistoric Homo sapiens population sample. Further study should be addressed to investigate the cultural and chronological context of the hominin specimen.
