Perbandingan Data Geologi, Paleontologi Dan Arkeologi Situs Patiayam Dan Semedo

Abstract

Java has plenty of Pleistocene sites that have recorded the development and changes of environment, as well as human beings and their cultures since more than a million years ago. The distribution of most of those sites is around the Solo Basin and along the Bengawan Solo River. However, there are also some sites, which are physiographically solitary, namely Patiayam at the feet of Mount Muria and Semedo at the east end of a mountain range in Bogor – North Serayu Zone. This article will present the current development and comparison of geological, paleontological, and archaeological data from Patiayam and Semedo, which is very valuable because they will increase our understanding of quaternary prehistory in Java, which thus far has always been dominated by data from the sites around the Solo Basin and along the Bengawan Solo River.

Saatnya Menengok ke Barat: Sebuah Interpretasi Baru Tentang Distribusi Temuan Homo Erectus di Jawa

“…Based on the results of the morphological and morphological character analysis conducted by Siswanto and Noerwidi (2014), it can be seen that, in Semedo, there are very diverse species of probos animals, namely Sinomastodon bumiayuensis, Stegodon trigonocephalus, Stegodon sp (pygmy), Stegodon hypsilophus, Elephas (Archidiskodon) planifrons, and Elephas hysudrindicus. The presence of Sinomastodon bumiayuensis in Semedo indicates the chronological range of the site, from at least of 1.6 million years ago to the Middle Pleistocene after the presence of Elephas Hysudrindicus (Siswanto and Noerwidi, 2015).…”

Semiotics Analysis of the Landscape Reconstruction of Medang Kamulan Ancient Sites Grobogan - Central Java

“…On the other hand, the remains of Muria Strait which is shallow and turns into an alluvial land also forms the flow of the Juwana River, which flows northeastward across Pati and forms a cuspate delta type at the west of Rembang (Husein et al, 2016). (Siswanto (2015). The Medang Kamulan site was close to the north coast of Java at that time, which was a part of the Patiayam site area.…”

“…To prove this, studies currently continue to be carried out from various scientific disciplines in Medang Kamulan area. A number of studies have proven that Medang Kamulan area is a part of a wider area on the north coast of Java as a trade route (Sulistiyono, 2017, Siswanto, 2015.…”

“…Findings of ceramic fragments, pottery, Medang Kamulan site (Source: Wirasanti, 2018) In addition to the artifacts that were found to be a signifier of the influence of Hindu culture, there were many fossils of elephant ivory, deer antlers, and Bovidae teeth, which became a signified of the pleistocene ancient environment at Medang Kamulan. Paleogeomorphology research (Thornbury, 1954. Siswanto, 2015, Husein, 2016 proves that in the eighth century AD, the Grobogan area was close to the north coastline of Central Java.…”

“…Medang Kamulan on the north coast (Source: https://alamendah.org/2012/02/18/gunung-muria-sejarah-status-dan-potensi/ In 2017, the people in the Medang Kamulan area discovered ancient animal fossils including elephant ivory, deer, and buffalo. Research bySiswanto (2015) in Patiayam region (the south slope of Mount Muria) mentions that the fossils of vertebrate fauna in Patiayam was found in the pretty large locations. The number of fossils from Patiayam and the findings of the Paleontological Laboratory collection show similarities with fauna found in other regions of Java.…”
