Lepra pada sisa rangka manusia dari Lewoleba: relevansinya terhadap sejarah penghunian Indonesia

Leprosy is a chronic, mildly communicable disease of man which primarily affects the skin, mucous membranes, peripheral nerves, eyes, bones and testes due to Mycobacterium leprae. Some researches show the evidence of leprosy spread worldwide in recent human history. Therefore, it is important to put leprosy’s case on the map to build broader knowledge, not only about the spread of leprosy, but also about human dispersal. The aim of the present study is to detect the M.leprae from ancient population in order to know its relevance to the peopling of Indonesia. Macroscopic method was performed based on Ortner method and Aufderheide and Rodriguez-Martin method to identify leprosy on the cranium of Lewoleba specimen (LLI/5), from Lembata Island, Indonesia. The antiquity of Lewoleba specimen is 2990+/-160BP. The results of the macroscopic method show that the specimen has suffered from leprosy in her lifetime. Some researchers concluded that emergence of leprosy related to human migration, in term of modern human dispersal, some researchers proved that the spread of leprosy worldwide consistent with the source of modern human (East Africa) and the spread of leprosy is also fit with the pattern of modern human dispersal. This fact provides an important clue how the M. leprae spread worldwide. Because the leprosy spread through human migration, this means also that leprosy could be infected the ancient people of Indonesia. This is because Indonesia was one of modern human migration’s rout

Social identity: an interpretation of dental modification practices on Indonesian historical human remains

This research objective is to describe the social identity of the skeletal human remains based on dental modification. The research material is skeletal human remains from Kedaton Temple and Upas Well which consists of five individuals. These human remains are located in the residential complex of the kingdom of Majapahit (ca. 1300-1500), thus it can be assumed that they are associated with Indonesian classical period. The applied method of research is observation and comparison. Based on the observation of teeth, all individuals underwent dental modification. The male had the “T” pattern and the females had the “diamond” pattern. Comparison with other types of dental modifications in Indonesia shows that the pattern of dental modification among human remains from Kedaton Temple and Upas Well is different from the other modification patterns in Indonesia. If we relate the location of the grave and the location of the temple where are in the royal family residential area, hence it can be concluded that these human remains belonged to the high social status

Mazu: Sea goddess Ritual at Tjoe Tik Kiong (Cide Gong) Pasuruan Temple

This study examines the Ritual of Ma Zu Goddess at the Tjoe Tik Kiong (Cide Gong) Temple in Pasuruan which was carried out again after 2 years of vacuum due to covid19. The research problem that will be investigated is whether this ritual activity has been simplified in its implementation and has the general public become less interested in participating in this ritual after it has not been carried out in the last 2 years? The research method used is descriptive qualitative, by conducting in-depth interviews with the leader who conducted the ceremony and the participants who attended it. The finding of this research is that although covid 19 has resulted in the absence of religious celebrations for the past 2 years, for local people this celebration is still an important activity and they are still enthusiastic about participating in this activity

Dental Modification on the Skull Found During Basement Construction at Balai Pemuda Building, Indonesia

Two skulls have been found during basement construction of Balai Pemuda Building in the depth of 6-7 meters from the ground. Those skulls have been coded as skull 16089 and 16090. The maxillary teeth of skull 16090 was almost in complete formation and there was an evidence of dental modification similar to dental modification found in Java. To identify the pattern of dental modification, macroscopic observation is needed. Also, the comparative study will be used to find the link between the pattern of dental modifications. The result is that the pattern of dental modification on the skull 160690 is hexagon-like shaped. The “hexagon-like” pattern is very similar to what was found in Kedaton Temple and Upas Well which had diamond-like pattern
