“…BP respectively (Aubert et al 2014;Fage and Chazine 2009). Thus it would appear that the APT body of art as described by Ballard (1988) does not derive from an ancestral artistic tradition in Taiwan or the Philippines. So where does this style originate?…”

“…The potential for symbolic signalling implicit in the locational context of the paintings was further developed by Ballard and colleagues (2004). Ballard's (1988) detailed analysis of the Dudumahan rock art site in Kai Kecil, southeast Maluku, showed that aside from a range of geometric motifs, small anthropomorphic igures often in active poses, dominated the art corpus (ig. 1).…”

The last decade has seen a major reassessment of the Neolithic in Island Southeast Asia (ISEA), with many authors proposing alternatives to the conventional model of a Neolithic transition driven by the migration of Austronesian speaking farmers out of Taiwan into ISEA. Here I discuss the archaeological evidence from sites in Timor-Leste, Sulawesi and elsewhere in ISEA in the context of the orthodox model and reevaluate recent reviews of the model in the light of this.

“…From as early as 1884, rock art has been reported from the Kai (or Kei) Islands [2] and later surveys by van Heekeren [8] report that the rock paintings there are predominantly red in colour. One Kei Island site in particular, Dudumahan, was described in detail by Ballard [129]. Rock paintings were discovered by Röder at the Seleman Bay of Seram Island situated between Sulawesi and West Papua [8,130], which depict anthropomorphs, hand stencils and "lizards" in red, while boats and birds are depicted in white.…”

Rock art has been known in Southeast Asia since the early 19th century, but relatively little attention has been paid to this class of archaeological material. This paper attempts to correct the perception that there is little rock art known in the region; especially in the light of intensified research efforts over the last 30 years that have led to the discovery of numerous new sites. Over a thousand rock art sites are known in the form of rock paintings, petroglyphs and megaliths in Southeast Asia, and their distribution across the various territories are uneven. This paper summarises the state of rock art research in Southeast Asia and discusses some of the challenges of studying rock art in this region, research trends and new finds from recent research.

“…Manifestasi materi atas praktek khas ini ditemukan secara luas di Kepulauan Maluku Tenggara. Ekspresi material yang paling khas di Kepulauan Maluku Tenggara terkait ekspansi budaya Austronesia kiranya terwakili melalui keberadaan situs lukisan cadas di Dudumahan, Kepulauan Kei yang diperkirakan berusia antara 2.000 hingga 2.500 tahun yang lalu (Ballard, 1988;Ririmasse, 2010). Keberadaan situs ini sekaligus menjadi penanda masa dimana kontak pertukaran dan perdagangan dimulai dengan Asia Daratan.…”

Keywords: Spice Route, Archaeology, MalukuAbstrak Jalur rempah kembali menjadi salah satu isu yang mengemuka dalam diskusi sejarah budaya Nusantara setahun terakhir. Dimana wacana yang mengemuka umumnya masih mengamati keberadaan jalur rempah sebagai jejaring yang dibentuk oleh sejarah kontak dan interaksi dengan para penjelajah dari Asia Barat; Tiongkok dan terutama para pendatang Eropa. Hampir tak ada diskusi yang mencoba mengamati kemungkinan tumbuh kembang jalur niaga ini di era yang jauh lebih awal. Termasuk di Kepulauan Maluku. Makalah ini mencoba mengamati proses pembentukan jaringan niaga dan perdagangan rempah serta aneka komoditi eksotik di masa prasejarah dan awal sejarah di Kepulauan Maluku dari sudut pandang studi arkeologi. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kajian pustaka. Hasil kajian menemukan bahwa jaringan niaga dan pertukaran di Maluku telah dibentuk semenjak masa prasejarah sebagaimana ditunjukkan oleh ragam hasil penelitian arkeologi.Kata kunci: Jalur Rempah, Arkeologi, Maluku PENDAHULUANSelama ini diskusi akademis tentang jalur rempah cenderung melekat pada gagasan bahwa tumbuh kembang jejaring niaga ini bertautan dengan kontak dan interaksi dengan para musafir dari Asia Barat, penjelajah Tiongkok dan terutama para pendatang Eropa. Pandangan ini sepertinya telah sedemikian melekat, sehingga gagasan tentang jalur rempah dan gelombang kedatangan orang-orang Eropa di Nusantara ibarat dua sisi yang menyatu pada keping mata uang.Benar kiranya, bahwa ekonomi rempah adalah gerbang bagi kontak dan interaksi dengan para pendatang Eropa, yang kemudian bermuara pada kolonialisme di Nusantara. Sudah pada tempatnya pula, keberadaan pemahaman bahwa jejaring niaga ini telah berkembang sebelum orang-orang Eropa tiba, ketika para pedagang dari Asia Barat dan Tiongkok datang ke Nusantara.
