Lebak Regency is an area in the southern part of Banten Province which is fertile and dominated by agricultural land. The condition of Lebak in the past based on archaeological remains, especially megalithic remains, shows traces of farming. The traces of the megalithic remains in the form of mortars and dakon stones were obtained at three sites, namely the Gunung Anakan site, the Parigi Lebakbinong site, and the Pasir Nangka site. The problem raised in this paper is what is the function of the mortar stone and dakon stone for supporting communities in Lebak Banten. Knowledge of the function of mortar and dakon stone will be able to reconstruct the role of mortar and dakon stone in the past related to farming. This paper uses descriptive analytical methods and inductive reasoning with a material culture approach. The existence of mortar and dakon stone indicates subsistence based on agriculture or farming.

Kosovo’s Constitutional Court has played a role of paramount importance in the country’s recent history. The author uses a comparative analysis to discuss the role of the Court in light of the work and history of other European constitutional courts. This approach sheds light on the Court’s current role by analyzing Kosovo’s constitutional history, which shows that there has been a radical break with the past. This approach reveals the fact that Kosovo’s current Constitution does not reflect the material culture of the society of Kosovo. This radical break with the past is a result of the country’s tragic history, in which case the fight for constitutionalism means a fight for human dignity. In this battle for constitutionalism, the Court has been given very broad jurisdiction and a role to play in paving the way for Kosovo to move toward Euro-Atlantic integration in all spheres of life. Before reaching this conclusion, the author discusses the specificities of Kosovo’s transition, comparing it with other former communist countries. Among the specific features of constitutionalism in Kosovo are the role and position of the international community in the process of constitution-making and the overall design of constitutional justice in Kosovo. Throughout the article, a conclusion emerges that puts Kosovo’s Constitutional Court at the forefront of the fight for the rule of law and constitutionalism of liberal Western provenance.

Pelajau merupakan sebuah kawasan pemukiman kuna yang dikelilingi oleh sungai mati dan kini terpecah menjadi beberapa desa. Beberapa toponim menandai ramainya aktivitas pemukiman masa itu, seperti Sumur Candi, Sumur Pemandian Raja, dan Masjid Keramat Pelajau. Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi peran Pelajau pada masa lalu dan hubungannya dengan situs pemukiman tepi sungai bagian hulu Kalimantan Selatan seperti situs Jambu Hulu, Jambu Hilir, dan Nagara. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan penalaran induktif. Teknik pengambilan data dengan observasi, wawancara dan ekskavasi, dengan analisis data secara laboratorium, morfologi dan teknologi artefak, serta pendekatan etnoarkeologi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Pelajau merupakan pemukiman tepi sungai mempunyai peranan yang penting terhadap perkembangan perekonomian, religi dan nasionalisme di wilayah hulu Kalimantan Selatan. Dari beberapa artefak dan tradisi yang hingga kini masih digunakan, disimpulkan bahwa budaya di Pelajau masih berlanjut dari masa dahulu hingga kini, meskipun sempat terjadi keterputusan generasi dan perubahan konsep pemaknaan terhadap Sumur Candi.Pelajau is an ancient settlement area surrounded by dead river, and nowadays it split into several villages. Some toponyms marked the high activities in the past, such as sumur candi (temple well), sumur pemandian raja (bath well of king) and Masjid Keramat Pelajau (Pelajau Sacred Mosque). This paper aims to identify the role of Pelajau in the pastand relationship of Pelajau with riverbank settlement sites at the upstream of South Kalimantan such as Jambu Hulu, Jambu Hilir and Nagara. The method used is descriptive with inductive reasoning. Data are collected through observation, interviews and excavation, and analysis data are conducted by laboratory, morphology and technological artifacts, as wellas ethnoarchaeological approach. Results from this study indicate that a riverbank settlement of Pelajau has an important role to the development of economy, religion and nationalism in the upstream region of South Kalimantan. Based on some artifacts and traditions which are still in use, it is concluded that the culture in Pelajau is continued from ancient times until present, eventhough there are disconnect generation and changeable concept of sumur candi (temple well) meaning.

Abstract Some may believe that the history of mankind begins with the appearance of writing only a few several thousands of years ago (cf. 4000-3000 BCE). Our history, however, extends beyond that date millions of years. The history of mankind, indeed, is deeply rooted in the remote past which is called 'prehistory'. With the lacking of any form of writing, this 'prehistoric' period can be examined directly solely by recourse to the study of archaeological remains. The purpose of this account is to introduce rock art to the readers and show the significant role of this sort of archaeological material in studying the history of mankind before the appearance of written records. The current work, therefore, is divided into three main sections: the first deals with definition of rock art and its nature; the second section is devoted to showing the significance of this aspect of material culture in exploring a long and mysterious period of the early history of man characterized by the complete absence of written records or historical documents; the third and last section, which is a vital and integral part of this work, comprises an explanatory pictorial record to promote the understanding of prehistoric rock art as a source of information needed for writing the history of prehistory.

Abstract. Underwater archaeological research usually talks about archaeological remains under the sea like a sinking ship. The issue of sinking ships concerns the cargo, the type of ship, shipping lines, trade routes, and the origin and technology of shipbuilding. The problem is that archeological findings are not only in the sea, but also in lakes, swamps, or rivers. Therefore underwater archeology not only studies archeological findings in the sea but also on the lake. Archaeological findings originating from within the Matano lake include in the form of pottery both intact and fractions mixed with metal objects. Lake Matano located in Luwu Regency in South Sulawesi is an ancient lake and is the deepest lake in Southeast Asia. How and why these pottery findings arrived inside the lake, are the problems that will be answered in this study. The aim is to find out the function and role of pottery in the sites of Lake Matano and what factors influence it. With the method of inductive reasoning and underwater exploration and land and an analogy with the findings of similar pottery in the terrestrial area of the lake, we can find a connection between the findings of pottery and the same activities related to the manufacture of metal objects, and strong suspicion of tectonic activity that affects the site's existence.Keywords: Pottery, Underwater, Terrestrial, Metal, Lake MatanoAbstrak.

Oleh karena itu, arkeologi bawah air tidak saja mempelajari temuan arkeologi di dalam laut, tetapi juga di danau. Temuan arkeologi yang berasal dari dalam Danau Matano antara lain berupa tembikar, baik utuh maupun pecahan yang bercampur dengan benda logam. Danau Matano yang terletak di Kabupaten Luwu di Sulawesi Selatan adalah danau purba dan merupakan danau terdalam di Asia Tenggara. Bagaimana dan mengapa temuan tembikar ini sampai berada di dalam danau adalah permasalahan yang hendak dijawab dalam penelitian ini. Tujuannya adalah untuk mengetahui fungsi dan peran keberadaan tembikar di situs-situs Danau Matano dan faktor-faktor apa yang mempengaruhinya. Dengan metode penalaran induktif dan ekplorasi bawah air dan daratan serta analogi dengan temuan tembikar serupa di area terrestrial danau dapat diketahui adanya hubungan antara temuan tembikar dengan aktivitas yang sama berkaitan dengan pembuatan benda logam, dan dugaan kuat adanya aktivitas tektonik yang mempengaruhi keberadaan situs.Kata kunci: Tembikar, Bawah air, Terrestrial, logam, Danau Matano

Cultural history is increasingly informed by the history of material culture—the ways in which individuals or entire societies create and relate to objects both mundane and extraordinary—rather than on textual evidence alone. Books such as The Hare with Amber Eyes and A History of the World in 100 Objects indicate the growing popularity of this way of understanding the past. This book uncovers the forgotten origins of our fascination with exploring the past through its artifacts by highlighting the role of antiquarianism—a pursuit ignored and derided by modem academic history—in grasping the significance of material culture. From the efforts of Renaissance antiquarians, who reconstructed life in the ancient world from coins, inscriptions, seals, and other detritus, to amateur historians in the nineteenth century working within burgeoning national traditions, the book connects collecting—whether by individuals or institutions—to the professionalization of the historical profession, one which came to regard its progenitors with skepticism and disdain. The struggle to articulate the value of objects as historical evidence, then, lies at the heart both of academic history writing and of the popular engagement with things. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that our current preoccupation with objects is far from novel and reflects a human need to re-experience the past as a physical presence.

AbstractThe Tanah Karo's natural lanscape has been known such a fertile area with a climate that is perfect for agricultural activities. The ancient Karo people used to live the old way known as the megalith culture or tradition that is always related to ancestral and animism beliefs. When Islam and Christianity started to influx and flourish, the old beiefs gradually vanished. The material culture heritage, however, shows varous influences from the past. The old well-rooted concept and element that used to live in the society has left such a strong legacy to some aspects of the culture material and tradition in the present day, especially the buiding or the symbolic ornament and the traditional building element. The agricultural life in the past can be traced back through the symbols available, which then will become proposed questions in search for answers. This paper appliesmexplorative-descriptive method with inductive reasoning. The ornaments, building materials and elements available are proofs of agricultural activities in the forms of farming. The fertile soil and conducive climate provide a perfect back up to the farming. The traditional buildings for the ancestors' skulls at Tanah Karo settlements are the perfect examples of the ancient megalith.AbstrakAlam lingkungan Tanah Karo sejak dahulu memang merupakan area yang subur dengan iklim yang menunjang kegiatan pertanian. Masyarakat Karo dahulu masih menganut kepercayaan lama yang dikenal di Nusantara sebagai budaya atau tradisi megalitik yang sering dikaitkan dengan kepercayaan yang berkaitan dengan leluhur dan animisme. Seiring dengan masuknya agama Islam dan Kristen, kepercayaan ini berangsur hilang. Namun melalui budaya material yang ditinggalkan masih menunjukkan adanya pengaruh kepercayaan lama. Konsep maupun unsur budaya yang pernah ada dan mengakar pada masyarakatnya, menyebabkan sebagian bentuk budaya material maupun tradisinya masih menampakkan hubungan dengan budaya masa lalunya. Terutama berkaitan dengan bangunan atau simbol-simbol yang tercermin dalam ornamen dan elemen bangunan adatnya. Bagaimana kondisi pertanian masa lalu dilacak melalui simbol-simbol yang ada menjadi permasalahan yang ingin diungkapkan kejelasannya. Penulisan menggunakan metode eksploratif-deskriptif menggunakan alur penalaran induktif. Melalui berbagai ornamen, bahan bangunan serta elemen bangunannya menjadi petunjuk adanya kegiatan pertanian berupa persawahan dan perladangan. Hal ini didukung oleh tanah yang subur serta iklim yang menunjang kegiatan itu. Perkampungan di Tanah Karo juga masih menggambarkan adanya tradisi megalitik di masa lalu, dengan keberadaan bangunan adat sebagai tempat menyimpan tengkorak dan tulang belulang leluhur /geriten.

This paper examines the role of material culture in replicating everyday racism in Katherine, Northern Territory, Australia. We argue that inclusivity is determined by inclusive design supported by inclusive behaviours and that archaeologists can inform the creation of a more equitable world by identifying how material culture acts to exclude certain groups and replicate inequalities that might otherwise go unnoticed. This paper is part of the social justice movement in archaeology that analyses material remains in both the past and the present to reveal relationships between racism, racial discrimination, and racial inequality.

And Performance

Ever since the emigration from the Nordic countries the Old world and the New world have maintained an exchange of ideas, customs, and material culture. This cultural heritage consists of more than remnants of the past. Drawing on theories of material culture and performance this article highlights the role of gifts in materializing relationships between individuals, families and organizations in the wake of migration. First, I build on a suggested coinage of the term heritage gifts as a way of materializing relationships. Thereafter, I map out the numerous roles which a Swedish bridal crown play in the United States: as museum object, object of display and loaned to families for wedding ceremonies in America. The transfers and transformations of the bridal crown enhances a drama of a migration heritage. This dynamic drama brings together kin in Sweden and America and maps specific locations into a flexible space via the trajectory of crown-clad female bodies.

Archaeological Approach

Previously, several toponymy studies have already been conducted both in the Nusa (Island) Ambon as well as in the City of Ambon. However, previous studies have not used the historical-archaeological approach. The use of this approach could ease the researchers to reveal the cross-cultural meeting in a specific locus. Taking the Island of Ambon as a locus, the researchers aim to find the origin of village names and the cultural intersection in Leihitu and Leitimor Peninsula. There were three steps conducted to collect and analyse data using historical-archaeological approach. Firstly, the researchers identified and took a tabulation of the village names, mentioned by the Hikayat Tanah Hitu (The Epic of Hitu Land) and three ancient maps. Secondly, the researchers identified various archaeological remains located in the scattered villages. Finally, the researchers analysed the origin of village names by searching the word-meanings, finding the present locations, and describing the role of the contemporary cultures (Islamic and Colonial period) in the past. The researchers found 12 villages with 22 archaeological remains. All related communities have the archaeological remains which could explain the local dynamics, but there are merely ten villages which name meanings could be identified.
