“…Here, the jars house multiple, secondary interments of adults, infants and children, while the coffins predominantly contain single adult inhumations, with hand and foot bones represented. Furthermore, given that there are multiple jar-and-coffin burial sites located throughout the Cardamom Mountains—including the site of Phnom Khnang Peung with over 40 such burials (Beavan et al 2015)—it is possible that these ritual sites represent important central places dedicated solely to funerary processing and placement rather than habitation, similar to a scenario for jar burial sites in the Sumatra highlands (Bonatz 2012).…”

“…Keberadaan situs megalitik di kawasan Kerinci pertama kali dilaporkan oleh G.H.K de Bont pada 1922. Laporan itu kemudian ditindaklanjuti dalam berbagai penelitian dari masa ke masa, seperti yang dilakukan oleh Schnitger (1936), Bagyo Prasetyo (1994), Dominik Bonatz et al (2006, Mai Lin Tjoa- Bonatz (2009), dan T.M.S. Budisantosa (2009) (lihat Bonatz, Neidel, and Tjoa-Bonatz 2006;Aziz 2010, 20).…”

Abstract. The Latest of Archaeological Finds in the Northwest-North of Kerinci Valley, Jambi Highland: A Preliminary Report. Last decade archeological research in Kerinci area, only focused on the south of Kerinci Lake. This region admittedly has archaeological finds richly and has been reported since the colonial era. The report was followed by research working comprehensively in that region eighty years after. The research revealed that archeological finds in the south of Kerinci Lake came from the neolithic to proto-historic era. However, the finds of earthenware fragments accidentally, have discovered the new information about archaeological finds in the north of Kerinci Lake or the northwest-north of Kerinci valley. The purpose of this research is to map the distribution and describing the character of archaeological finds in the northwest-north of Kerinci valley. This research utilizes a descriptive method worked in three stages, videlicet collecting, analyze, and interpreting data. In collecting the data stage collected the primary data and secondary data. In the analyzing stage, utilized qualitative analysis by noticing form, style, and technology attributes. This research revealed that the northwest-north of Kerinci valley area has artifact finds in the form of cord-marked earthenware, red slipped earthenware, and Chinese ceramics. Furthermore, found the carving-stones (petroglyph) too. Abstrak. Penelitian arkeologi dekade terakhir di kawasan Kerinci hanya terfokus pada kawasan di selatan Danau Kerinci. Kawasan ini memang memiliki tinggalan arkeologis yang cukup padat dan telah dilaporkan sejak era kolonial. Laporan tersebut ditindaklanjuti dengan melakukan penelitian yang lebih komprehensif di kawasan tersebut puluhan tahun sesudahnya. Penelitian tersebut mengungkapkan bahwa tinggalan arkeologis di sebelah selatan Danau Kerinci berasal dari masa Neolitik hingga Protosejarah. Namun, temuan artefak tembikar secara tidak sengaja di situs Siulak Tenang pada 2010, telah membuka pengetahuan baru tentang adanya tinggalan arkeologis di bagian utara Danau Kerinci atau bagian barat laut-utara lembah Kerinci. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui sebaran dan mendeskripsikan tinggalan arkeologi di barat laut-utara Lembah Kerinci. Penelitian ini bersifat deskriptif yang dilaksanakan dalam tiga tahap, yaitu pengumpulan data, analisis data dan interpretasi. Pada tahap pengumpulan data, dilakukan pengumpulan data primer dan data sekuder. Pada tahap analisis data digunakan analisis kualitiatif dengan memperhatikan atribut bentuk, gaya, dan teknologi. Penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa kawasan baratlaut-utara Lembah Kerinci memiliki tinggalan artefak berupa tembikar tatap tali, tembikar slip merah, dan keramik Cina. Selain itu, juga ditemukan -batu bergores (petroglif).

“…The red volcano symbol represents active volcanoes during the Holocene, and the gray volcano symbol is for an ancient Pleistocene volcano. The archeological sites (Bonatz, 2012) In the KSNP, when looking at the centennial to millennial timescale, volcanism can be considered as one of the most important disturbance factors. Volcanic eruptions produce a large amount of ash which accumulates in screes on top of volcanoes.…”

The effect of volcanism on submontane rainforest vegetation composition: Paleoecological evidence from Danau Njalau, Sumatra (Indonesia)

Volcanic processes might have played an important role in the vegetation history of Sumatra, one of the largest and most tectonically active region in Southeast Asia. Palynological and macro-charcoal analysis results from Lake Njalau in the Kerinci Seblat National Park (KSNP) in Sumatra (Indonesia) provide an understanding of interactions between the volcanic deposition and vegetation in the past 5000 years. The deposition of volcanic material in the depression of the Lake Njalau (5100-4400 cal. yr BP) led to the dominance of pioneer species of Casuarina and Myrica, which grow in deforested land and volcano slopes (volcanophile taxa). The formation of the modern forest composition took several centuries after the volcanic deposition in the soil ended (ca. 900 years at ca. 2400 cal. yr BP). This suggests that the vegetation changes were not driven by a successional pattern, and soil formation was the most important environmental factor explaining this slow change in composition. The palynological records show no evidence for prehistoric human-landscape interactions in the area despite the close proximity to known megalith sites. The local fire regime reconstructed using macro-charcoal analysis indicates that fire was rare for the last 5000 years, and the average fire return interval was ca. 500 years. Phases of increased fire frequency could not be linked to either any of the vegetation phases or regional climatic changes, suggesting that fire occurrences were stochastic events. Our results overall suggest that volcanism has acted as one important driver of changes in the rainforests of the KSNP.
