Archaeological Heritage Management in Indonesia: Prospects and Challenges
New Data from an Open Neolithic Site in Eastern Indonesia
Here we report the results of excavation and analyses of an open site on Pulau Ay, a small (ca. 4 km 2 ) limestone island located in the Banda Islands, central Maluku, Indonesia. This report provides results of excavations at PA1 and other Pulau Ay sites conducted in 2007 and 2009. These sites reveal patterns of changes in marine resource exploitation, pottery, and use of domestic animals, particularly between initial occupation of the site at ap…

Fortification as a human response to late Holocene climate change in East Timor
We present evidence for a significant shift in human landscape use in post 1000 AD East Timor towards fortified and defensively‐oriented settlement sites. We propose a model of agents selecting to invest in fortification building that is based on the spatial and temporal variation in the availability of rainfall‐dependent resources. These resources may have been significantly impacted by climatic events associated with ENSO variation, and we disc…
Rock Art: A Potential Source of Information about Past Maritime Technology in the South-East Asia-Pacific Region
It is possible that most or all boats and rig-types used in prehistoric times in the South-East Asia-Pacific region have completely disappeared from the record, and that those recorded by Europeans in the 17th century may have been relatively recent innovations. The purpose of this paper is to introduce to the literature a new source of information on ancient boat and rig designs. This source is the information encoded in rock-art depictions of w…

Chronology of Fortified Settlements in East Timor
This paper presents new data on the possible ages and functions of stone structures in the eastern regions of East Timor. Radiocarbon and thermoluminescence dates were obtained from samples from a number of these sites which suggest a late Holocene period construction and occupation. Results from small scale excavations at three sites suggest that these structures were fortified village sites. These social forces behind the building and use of th…

Archaeological approaches to the study of Islam in Island Southeast Asia
The Indonesian archipelago (Island Southeast Asia) now has the largest Muslim population in the world. How, when and why did Islam arrive? Archaeological investigations show that the conversion process was long and patchy with many forces at work
A highway and a crossroads: Island Southeast Asia and culture contact archaeology
Island Southeast Asia has several distinctive elements of its archaeological and documentary record that make it a particularly fertile region in which to further explore and develop theories of culture contact and cross‐cultural interaction. In contrast to the traditional view of other regions, such as pre‐European contact North America, archaeologists have always seen Island Southeast Asia as a zone of cross‐cultural interaction, or as a passag…
On the Use of Archaeology and History in Island Southeast Asia
This paper reviews the use of archaeological and documentary sources in the understanding of the past in Island Southeast Asia. The relationship between these two sources of data (and data sources that cross the boundaries of these categories) has varied over time, depending on the availability of data, changing interpretive strategies and scholarly trends and influences. The wealth of documentary sources relevant to Island Southeast Asia's past,…
Historic Maps and Archaeology as a Means of Understanding Late Precolonial Settlement in the Banda Islands, Indonesia
Archaeological settlement data from the late precolonial Banda Islands of Indonesia is combined with information gathered from historic maps to investigate the process of cross-cultural interaction. In this case, the two data sets are biased and incomplete, but when combined can illuminate aspects of the late precolonial period in Banda that are otherwise hidden. The study uses European drawn maps dating from the late sixteenth to the early eight…
Political dynamics and religious change in the late pre-colonial Banda Islands, Eastern Indonesia
Recently completed archaeological survey and excavation, in conjunction with a re-analysis of historical documents and oral histories, brings to light new evidence about the pre-colonial (tenth to seventeenth centuries) society of the Banda Islands, once the world's sole source of nutmeg. The new data challenge historical assumptions about settlement, Islamization and the nature of trade networks in pre-colonial Banda. They also have implications…
