Gambar cadas adalah fenomena arkeologi yang tersebar di seluruh dunia. Umumnya, seni prasejarah ini terdiri atas berbagai bentuk, motif, dan juga makna. Artikel ini membahas gambar cadas Indonesia, khususnya di wilayah Maros-Pangkep, Sulawesi Selatan. Menurut teori David Lewis-Williams dan David S. Whitley tentang pendekatan neuropsikologi terhadap gambar cadas, mereka mendeskripsikan "beberapa" motif sebagai penggambaran tahapan atau metafora dari Altered State of Consciousness (ASC) yang berhubungan dengan shamanisme. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menunjukkan bagaimana teori ASC dapat diuji dalam gambar cadas Maros-Pangkep, dan juga menunjukkan indikasi keberadaan shamanisme dalam gambar cadas Indonesia. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan analogi formal dan studi komparatif tentang motif-motif gambar cadas terpilih di kawasan Maros-Pangkep dengan gambar cadas di Afrika, Siberia, dan juga gambar cadas di Amerika. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa teori ASC dapat diterapkan dalam gambar cadas Indonesia dan ada beberapa indikasi shamanisme dalam gambar cadas di wilayah Maros-Pangkep.Rock art is an archaeological phenomenon which spread all over the world. Generally, this prehistoric art consists of various forms, motifs, and also meanings. This article discusses Indonesian rock art, particularly the Maros-Pangkep region in South Sulawesi. According to David Lewis-Williams and David S. Whitley’s theory about the neuropsychology approach to rock art, they describe “some” motifs as a depiction of stages or metaphors of the Altered State of Consciousness (ASC) that relates to shamanism. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how the ASC theory can be tested in Maros-Pangkep Rock Art, and also shows an indication of the existence of shamanism in Indonesian rock art. The research methods are formal analogy and comparative studies on the selected motifs of rock art in the Maros-Pangkep region with African, Siberian, and also American rock art. The result shows that the ASC theory can be applied in Indonesian rock art and there are some indications of shamanism in rock art motifs in the Maros-Pangkep region.
The Old Banten region is proof of the greatness of the Banten Sultanate, which once stood in the west of Java Island for nearly three centuries. Many experts have studied the historical data, such as the explorer's travel notes or ancient maps, and done a lot of excavation to discover evidence that describes the splendor of the Banten Sultanate civilization. Even so, several archaeological data around the area are still untouched and can be explored. Based on the studies conducted, by combining the latest research, historical sources, and field observation data, the results show a match between the historical data and the current archaeological evidence. This paper also explores the areas considered as potential for future research.
Abstract. The Similarity of Traditions and Symbols: Comparative Study of Recent Rock Art in Indo-Malaysia. As an ancient art, rock art, in general, is always associated with the prehistoric hunter-gatherer communities in the upper Paleolithic period or about 40,000 years ago. However, it was later discovered that the tradition of drawing/painting inside the cave was still practiced by modern hunter-gatherer communities in the 19th century, especially in the Indo-Malaysian region. This article seeks to conduct a comparative study of "recent" rock art in Lenggong Region, Perak, Peninsular Malaysia with the new findings of "recent" rock art from Bukit Bulan Region, Sarolangun, Jambi, Sumatera Island, Indonesia. The method used is a comparative analysis that seeks similarities from attributes such as techniques, motifs, sizes, and characters. The results show that both recent “young” rock art in the two regions are somehow alike. Also, contextual studies show the existence of similar traditions and behavior between modern hunter-gatherer communities in both regions. Abstrak. Gambar cadas sebagai kesenian purba pada umumnya selalu dikaitkan dengan manusia prasejarah, yakni pemburu-peramu pada masa paleolitik atas atau sekitar 40.000 tahun yang lalu. Setelah itu, belakangan telah diketahui bahwa tradisi menggambar di dalam gua masih dilakukan oleh masyarakat pemburu-peramu modern pada abad ke-19, khususnya di wilayah Indo-Malaysia. Artikel ini dimaksudkan untuk melakukan studi perbandingan terhadap gambar cadas “muda” di Kawasan Lenggong, Perak, Semenanjung Malaysia, dengan temuan baru berupa gambar cadas “muda” di Kawasan Bukit Bulan, Sarolangun, Jambi, Pulau Sumatra, Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan adalah analisis komparatif untuk mencari kesamaan dari atribut, seperti teknik, motif, ukuran, dan karakter. Hasilnya menunjukkan bahwa banyak kesamaan atribut pada gambar cadas “muda” pada kedua situs. Selain itu, kajian kontekstual juga menunjukkan adanya tradisi dan pola perilaku yang serupa antara masyarakat pemburu-peramu modern di kedua wilayah tersebut.
