The Case against La Maddukelleng
This article presents an eighteenth-century Bugis text from South Sulawesi in Indonesia. It concerns the career of La Maddukelleng (c.1700-1765). Also known as Arung Singkang and Arung Peneki, he played a key role in the complex politics and wars of the period. After establishing his military credentials in Kalimantan, he returned to Sulawesi in the early 1730s and imposed himself as ruler of the Bugis state of Wajo from where in 1739 he led an a…
The Bugis Chronicle of Bone
The Bugis Chronicle of Bone is a masterwork in the historiographical tradition of South Sulawesi in Indonesia. Written in the late seventeenth century for a very specific political purpose, it describes the steady growth of the kingdom of Bone from the fourteenth century onwards. The local conquests of the fifteenth century, closely linked to agricultural expansion, give way

Symposium on “The Archaeology of Sulawesi
Sulawesi has been in the archaeological news recently. In January 2016 a date of more than 100 000 years was announced for stone tools, almost certainly made by pre-modern hominins, from a site in the middle of South Sulawesi. In 2014, cave art from the well-known sites near Maros was dated to about 40 000 years ago, the oldest date for figurative art in the world. This symposium, convened by Sue O’Connor and David Bulbeck, both of the College of…
The Media of Bugis Literacy
The existence of literacy implies a range of practical questions about writing.While attention has been given to the form of Bugis writing, there are also issues around the mechanics of writing, that is, the ways in which marks have been made on various surfaces.Bugis literacy, which began with palm leaf manuscripts, has been overwhelmingly in the form of paper manuscripts, though examples of printing, inscriptions on silver and on earthenware ar…
Christian Pelras and His Work
Those of us who work in the human sciences are, of necessity, involved with the task of interpretation: interpreting the past to the present, interpreting the ways of "others" to our own society, or even interpreting our own society to itself.Bugis society in the second half of the 20th century was fortunate indeed to have had Christian Pelras as its interpreter.He himself describes the work of ethnology as "a dialogue between our culture and the…
The view from Marege’
When Matthew Flinders and Robert Brown met the trepanging fleet from Makassar off north-eastern Arnhem Land in 1803 and interviewed Pobassoo, its 'old Commander', they asked a very well-informed question; according to Brown, 'They [that is, the trepangers] denied having any of their celebrated Poison wch they call Ippo, on board'. Given the long and complicated history of the European understanding of this poison, it is not clear how Flinders and…

C.C. Macknight & LA. Caldwell Les Bugis de Célèbes-Sud, de même que les Makassar et d'autres de leurs voisins, possèdent une tradition de l'écrit qui remonte aux environs de l'année 1300. Bien qu'apparentée à d'autres traditions lointainement dérivées, comme elles, d'un modèle indien, celle-ci s'en distingue par de nombreux détails, tant du point de vue de ses pratiques que de l'écriture utilisée ; par voie de conséquence, les méthodes philologiq…

The Voyage to Marege
The nature of early maritime trade
Several points about the nature of maritime trade are illustrated with examples from eastern Indonesia. Among these are the influence of seasonal wind direction, the role of entrepôts, and the effect of fashion and other concepts of custom or law on trade. It is suggested that the prehistorian needs an awareness of such ethnographic and historical material to direct and control his imagination
