Banda Islands, Indonesia
INSULARITY AND ADAPTATION INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF EXCHANGE AND INTER-ISLAND INTERACTION IN THE BANDA ISLANDS, INDONESIA Emily J. Peterson A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Peter V. Lape, Chair James K. Feathers Benjamin Marwick Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Anthropology ©Copyright 2015 Emily J. Peterson University of Washington Abstract Insularity and Adaptation Investigating the role of exchange and inter-island interaction in the Banda Islands, Indonesia Emily J. Peterson Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Peter V. Lape Department of Anthropology Trade and exchange exerted a powerful force in the historic and protohistoric past of Island Southeast Asian communities. Exchange and interaction are also hypothesized to have played an important role in the spread of new technologies and lifestyles throughout the region during the Neolithic period. Although it is clear that interaction has played an important role in shaping Island Southeast Asian cultures on a regional scale, little is known about local histories and trajectories of exchange in much of the region. This dissertation aims to improve our understanding of the adaptive role played by exchange and interaction through an exploration of change over time in the connectedness of island communities in the Banda Islands, eastern Indonesia. Connectedness is examined by measuring source diversity for two different types of archaeological materials. Chemical characterization of pottery using LA-ICP-MS allows the identification of geochemically different paste groups within the earthenware assemblages of two Banda Islands sites. Source diversity measures are employed to identify differences in relative connectedness between these sites and changes over time. -
Indonesia Remote West Papuan Islands Cruise II 12Th to 25Th November 2020 (14 Days)
Indonesia Remote West Papuan Islands Cruise II 12th to 25th November 2020 (14 days) Displaying Wilson’s Bird-of-paradise by Glen Valentine RBL Indonesia - Remote West Papuan Islands Cruise Itinerary 2 Our fabulous and exhilarating Remote West Papuan Island cruise sets out to explore a myriad of isolated islands in this exceptionally beautiful part of Indonesia. We start off with some initial birding on the tiny island of Ambon before heading off to the seldom-visited island of Boano for the endemic Boano Monarch. Thereafter we continue south towards the Central Moluccan island of Seram in search of an array of incredibly exciting endemics such as Salmon-crested Cockatoo, Lazuli Kingfisher, Purple-naped Lory, Seram Boobook and Long-crested Myna to mention just a few. From Seram, we cruise northwards into the north-Moluccan sea where we explore these little-birded waters in addition to visiting the endemic-rich island of Obi for such delicacies as Carunculated Fruit Dove and Moluccan (Obi) Woodcock. From Obi, we cross Lydekker’s Line and journey eastwards towards the Raja Ampats. En route, a stop in at Kofiau will hopefully produce both Kofiau Paradise Kingfisher and Kofiau Monarch, both of which have been observed by fewer than 100 birders! We finally arrive in the Raja Ampats and the islands of Kri. Merpati and Waigeo where we will seek out some of our planet’s rarest and least-known species. These include such extraordinary gems as Wilson’s Bird-of-paradise (regarded by many as the most spectacular bird on earth!), Red Bird-of-paradise and Island Whistler. -

Abstract Background and Aim: Indonesian cuscuses are now becoming scarce because of the reduction of habitat and poaching. Further, molecular characterization of Indonesian cuscuses is still very lacking. This study aimed to determine genetic markers and phylogenetic relationships of Indonesian cuscuses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. Materials and Methods: This study used 21 cuscuses caught from two provinces and 16 islands: 13 from Maluku and eight from Papua. Cuscus samples were taken by biopsy following ethics guidelines for animals. -

F., MALLE D., LATUPEIRISSA C. Ch. E. and SIWA I. P. Department of Animal Husbandry, Faculty of Agriculture, Pattimura University Abstract Maluku has been well known as an archipelagic province consisting of small islands which are rich in natural resources such as exotic animals. Moa buffalo, Lakor goat, and Kisar sheep are local genetic resources of livestock from Maluku which have been endorsed by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Indonesia to be protected, conserved, and sustainably utilized for human welfare purposes. These three species have been a part of the local people life as food, income, savings, and organic fertilizer sources. Formulation of the Grand Design for the development of these species was completed in 2013, which includes some strategic policies for the development. Real follow-up actions in forms of research should be designed covering various aspects to accelerate the achievement of the development of these potential local livestock. The research aspects that should be considered are local human resource capacity strengthening, genetic quality improvement, animal feedstock development including local forage and pasture quality improvement, animal diseases control, animal waste-based bioenergy development, product and post-harvesting handling, and policy and regulation aspects. -

The Birds of Babar, Romang, Sermata, Leti and Kisar, Maluku, Indonesia
Colin R. Trainor & Philippe Verbelen 272 Bull. B.O.C. 2013 133(4) New distributional records from forgoten Banda Sea islands: the birds of Babar, Romang, Sermata, Leti and Kisar, Maluku, Indonesia by Colin R. Trainor & Philippe Verbelen Received 5 July 2011; fnal revision accepted 10 September 2013 Summary.—Many of the Banda Sea islands, including Babar, Romang, Sermata and Leti, were last surveyed more than 100 years ago. In October–November 2010, birds were surveyed on Romang (14 days), Sermata (eight days), Leti (fve days) and Kisar (seven days), and on Babar in August 2009 (ten days) and August 2011 (11 days). Limited unpublished observations from Damar, Moa, Masela (of Babar) and Nyata (of Romang) are also included here. A total of 128 bird species was recorded (85 resident landbirds), with 104 new island records, among them fve, 12, 20, four and three additional resident landbirds for Babar, Romang, Sermata, Leti and Kisar, respectively. The high proportion of newly recorded and apparently overlooked resident landbirds on Sermata is puzzling but partly relates to limited historical collecting. Signifcant records include Ruddy-breasted Crake Porzana fusca (Romang), Red-legged Crake Rallina fasciata (Sermata), Bonelli’s Eagle Aquila fasciata renschi (Romang), Elegant Pita Pita elegans vigorsii (Babar, Romang, Sermata), Timor Stubtail Urosphena subulata (Babar, Romang), the frst sound-recordings of Kai Cicadabird Coracina dispar (Babar?, Romang) and endemic subspecies of Southern Boobook Ninox boobook cinnamomina (Babar) and N. b. moae (Romang, Sermata?). The frst ecological notes were collected for Green Oriole Oriolus favocinctus migrator on Romang, the lowland-dwelling Snowy-browed Flycatcher Ficedula hyperythra audacis on Babar, the endemic subspecies of Yellow- throated (Banda) Whistler Pachycephala macrorhyncha par on Romang, and Grey Friarbird Philemon kisserensis on Kisar and Leti. -
The Life and Work of Bernhard Nikolas Johann Roskott (1811–1873) on the Island of Ambon, Indonesia1
The Life and Work of Bernhard Nikolas Johann Roskott (1811–1873) on the Island of Ambon, Indonesia1 Dr. Chris de Jong 1. Foreword An alteration in certain elements of a culture or the adaptation of a culture to changing circumstances is seldom attributable to the work of one individual, whichever way one judges these changes. All manner of forces and factors play a part, some perhaps less obviously than others, but together they form a network of cause and consequence, or rather causes and consequences, which it seems impossi- ble to disentangle. It is the task of historians, anthropologists and sociologists to unravel this tangled web, and to point out certain patterns which are fundamental in the processes of change which are being investigated. However, in spite of the complexity of facts and developments, it occasionally happens that one can identify a particular person who played such a significant role in a certain period of history that he or she merits special attention. Such a figure was the German teacher Bernhard Nikolas Johann Roskott, who from 1835 till long after his death in 1873 left his mark on the education of the indigenous population in the residency of Ambon. This essay is dedicated to this teacher, who was sent to the area by the Dutch Missionary Society (Nederlands Zendeling Genootschap, NZG).2 This essay begins with a brief sketch of the state of affairs in the Moluccas Roskott encountered when he arrived there in 1835. This is followed by a detailed account of his life and work. Finally I shall try to assess the signifi- B.N.J. -
Waves of Destruction in the East Indies: the Wichmann Catalogue of Earthquakes and Tsunami in the Indonesian Region from 1538 to 1877
Downloaded from http://sp.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on May 24, 2016 Waves of destruction in the East Indies: the Wichmann catalogue of earthquakes and tsunami in the Indonesian region from 1538 to 1877 RON HARRIS1* & JONATHAN MAJOR1,2 1Department of Geological Sciences, Brigham Young University, Provo, UT 84602–4606, USA 2Present address: Bureau of Economic Geology, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX 78758, USA *Corresponding author (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: The two volumes of Arthur Wichmann’s Die Erdbeben Des Indischen Archipels [The Earthquakes of the Indian Archipelago] (1918 and 1922) document 61 regional earthquakes and 36 tsunamis between 1538 and 1877 in the Indonesian region. The largest and best documented are the events of 1770 and 1859 in the Molucca Sea region, of 1629, 1774 and 1852 in the Banda Sea region, the 1820 event in Makassar, the 1857 event in Dili, Timor, the 1815 event in Bali and Lom- bok, the events of 1699, 1771, 1780, 1815, 1848 and 1852 in Java, and the events of 1797, 1818, 1833 and 1861 in Sumatra. Most of these events caused damage over a broad region, and are asso- ciated with years of temporal and spatial clustering of earthquakes. The earthquakes left many cit- ies in ‘rubble heaps’. Some events spawned tsunamis with run-up heights .15 m that swept many coastal villages away. 2004 marked the recurrence of some of these events in western Indonesia. However, there has not been a major shallow earthquake (M ≥ 8) in Java and eastern Indonesia for the past 160 years. -
From Paradise Lost to Promised Land: Christianity and the Rise of West
School of History & Politics & Centre for Asia Pacific Social Transformation Studies (CAPSTRANS) University of Wollongong From Paradise Lost to Promised Land Christianity and the Rise of West Papuan Nationalism Susanna Grazia Rizzo A Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) of the University of Wollongong 2004 “Religion (…) constitutes the universal horizon and foundation of the nation’s existence. It is in terms of religion that a nation defines what it considers to be true”. G. W. F. Hegel, Lectures on the of Philosophy of World History. Abstract In 1953 Aarne Koskinen’s book, The Missionary Influence as a Political Factor in the Pacific Islands, appeared on the shelves of the academic world, adding further fuel to the longstanding debate in anthropological and historical studies regarding the role and effects of missionary activity in colonial settings. Koskinen’s finding supported the general view amongst anthropologists and historians that missionary activity had a negative impact on non-Western populations, wiping away their cultural templates and disrupting their socio-economic and political systems. This attitude towards mission activity assumes that the contemporary non-Western world is the product of the ‘West’, and that what the ‘Rest’ believes and how it lives, its social, economic and political systems, as well as its values and beliefs, have derived from or have been implanted by the ‘West’. This postulate has led to the denial of the agency of non-Western or colonial people, deeming them as ‘history-less’ and ‘nation-less’: as an entity devoid of identity. But is this postulate true? Have the non-Western populations really been passive recipients of Western commodities, ideas and values? This dissertation examines the role that Christianity, the ideology of the West, the religion whose values underlies the semantics and structures of modernisation, has played in the genesis and rise of West Papuan nationalism. -
GUNS and SPICES English Interests in Maluku the High
CHAPTER NINE THE ENGLISH AND NUKU: GUNS AND SPICES English interests in Maluku The High Government of the VOC in Batavia tended to support the Sultan of Tidore in upholding his control of the areas in the Raja Ampat and the island of New Guinea and its vicinity because of its fear of the insidiously increasing English threat to the Dutch spice monopoly, which had had a cautious beginning almost a century earlier.1 In 1697, 160 English merchants were enraged after having been expelled from Bantam. A year afterwards, a squadron of five warships under the command of Captain Warren was made ready for an expedition to the Great East to obtain spices. Most of these ships did not reach their destination, but the Resolution did appear in Ambonese waters, between Boano and Asahudi, and immediately set course for Kisar. The crewmen landed on the island of Pisang but were driven away by the inhabitants.2 In 1700, William Dampier landed on the island of Sabuda and spent several days at the entrance to the McCluer Gulf. The English menace had been conceived as real as early as 1701, when the Gentlemen Seventeen in Holland learned that a quantity of spices had been exported to Chili without them having any idea about their origin. They probably assumed that the spices had been collected somewhere on the New Guinea Coast. On 31 De- cember 1705, the Dutch took pre-emptive action by arresting Dampier when he dropped anchor at Bacan, and took him to Ternate.3 Striving to protect the spice monopoly against intervention by other Europeans, the Company was eager to extend its control and power over the eastern part of the Archipelago. -
Hierarchical Reciprocities and Tensions Between Migrants and Native Moluccas Post-Reformation
Journal of Southeast Asian Human Rights, Vol. 3 No. 2 December 2019 pp. 344 – 359 doi: 10.19184/jseahr.v3i2.8396 © University of Jember & Indonesian Consortium for Human Rights Lecturers Hierarchical Reciprocities and Tensions between Migrants and Native Moluccas Post-Reformation Hatib Abdul Kadir Universitas Brawijaya, Indonesia Email: [email protected] Abstract The research subject of this paper focuses on the Butonese, who are considered ―outside‖ the local culture, despite having lived in the Moluccas islands of Indonesia for more than a hundred years. The Butonese compose the largest group of migrants to the Moluccas. This article research does not put ethnicity into a fixed, classified group of a population; rather, the research explores ethnicity as a living category in which individuals within ethnic groups also have opportunities for social mobility and who struggle for citizenship. The Butonese have a long history of being considered ―subaltern citizens‖ or have frequently been an excluded community in post-colonial societies. They lack rights to land ownership and bureaucratic access. This article argues that Indonesian democracy has bred opposition between indigenous and migrant groups because, after the Reformation Era, migrants, as a minority, began to participate in popular politics to express themselves and make up their rights as ―citizens‖. Under the condition of democratic political participation, the Butonese found a way to mobilize their collective identity in order to claim the benefits of various governmental programs. Thus, this paper is about the contentiousness of how the rural Butonese migrants gained advantageous social and political status in the aftermath of the sectarian conflict between 1999 to 2003. -
Cave Use Variability in Central Maluku, Eastern Indonesia
Cave Use Variability in Central Maluku, Eastern Indonesia D. KYLE LATINIS AND KEN STARK IT IS NOW INCREASINGLY CLEAR that humans systematically colonized both Wallacea and Sahul and neighboring islands from at least 40,000-50,000 years ago, their migrations probably entailing reconnoitered and planned movements and perhaps even prior resource stocking of flora and fauna that were unknown to the destinations prior to human translocation (Latinis 1999, 2000). Interest ingly, much of the supporting evidence derives from palaeobotanical remains found in caves. The number of late Pleistocene and Holocene sites that have been discovered in the greater region including Wallacea and Greater Near Ocea nia, most ofwhich are cave sites, has grown with increased research efforts partic ularly in the last few decades (Green 1991; Terrell pers. comm.). By the late Pleis tocene and early Holocene, human populations had already adapted to a number ofvery different ecosystems (Smith and Sharp 1993). The first key question considered in this chapter is, how did the human use of caves differ in these different ecosystems? We limit our discussion to the geo graphic region of central Maluku in eastern Indonesia (Fig. 1). Central Maluku is a mountainous group of moderately large and small equatorial islands dominated by limestone bedrock; there are also some smaller volcanic islands. The region is further characterized by predominantly wet, lush, tropical, and monsoon forests. Northeast Bum demonstrates some unique geology (Dickinson 2004) that is re sponsible for the distinctive clays and additives used in pottery production (dis cussed later in this paper). It is hoped that the modest contribution presented here will aid others working on addressing this question in larger and different geographic regions.
