14. Neolithic Dispersal Implications of Murids from Late Holocene Archaeological and Modern Natural Deposits 225
14 Neolithic dispersal implications of murids from late Holocene archaeological and modern natural deposits in the Talaud Islands, northern Sulawesi Julien Louys, Michael Herrera, Stuart Hawkins, Ken Aplin, Christian Reepmeyer, Felicitas Hopf, Stephen C. Donnellan, Sue O’Connor and Daud A. Tanudirjo Abstract The Sangihe-Talaud Archipelago represents a group of 77 remote islands located between the Philippines and North Sulawesi, in the northern sector of Wallacea. The Talaud Islands have a rich and significant archaeological record going back to the Pleistocene and are instrumental in understanding Pleistocene colonisation of small islands and later models of Austronesian language dispersal. Here we report on vertebrate material excavated from Leang Mande’et, a late Holocene rockshelter on Karakelang, the main island in the Talaud group. The site represents a periodically occupied shelter used for gardening. Fauna recovered predominately comprises murid elements, with at least four taxa (Rattus rattus, Rattus exulans and two Melomys species) found. The rodents show clear signs of being deposited by raptors rather than humans, unlike the small number of fish remains also recovered. DNA sequences from several Rattus rattus specimens are referrable to Rattus rattus complex lineage IV, a lineage with a southern Indochinese origins and broad modern representation through Indonesia and the Philippines. The lack of any Rattus rattus complex lineage II from Leang Mande’et suggests that the first agricultural inhabitants of this island did not come from Taiwan or northern Indochina, but rather that they either originated from the south or that, once established in the Talauds, opened up significant trade networks to the south and in the process acquired a significant pest. -

Archaeological Research in Minahasa and the Talaud Islands, Northeastern Indonesia
Archaeological Research in Minahasa and the Talaud Islands, Northeastern Indonesia Received 30 June 1975 PETER BELLWOOD HE archaeological work described in this paper was undertaken by the author with the Indonesian archaeologist 1. M. Sutayasa in the Indonesian province T of Sulawesi Utara (northern Sulawesi). The two districts within the province which received most attention were Minahasa (the northern tip of Sulawesi) and the Talaud Islands. This report deals mainly with the results from excavations on four major sites, one in Minahasa and three in Talaud. It is from these four sites that a prehistoric sequence going back 8000 years can be reconstructed with some precision. The province of Sulawesi Utara was chosen for research because of its strategic position: the Sangihe-Talaud Islands and Minahasa are located in a junction-zone between the island chains of the Philippines, northern Indonesia (Borneo, Sulawesi, and Halmahera), and western Micronesia and Melanesia. While the region remained archaeologically blank before our work, with the exception of brief mentions by Beyer (1947: 346-347) and van Heekeren (1972: 170), good sequences extending back into Pleistocene times were available for a number of surrounding areas. These included the Niah Cave in Sarawak (Harrisson 1970), the Tabon Caves on Palawan (Fox 1970), the caves in eastern Timor excavated by Glover (1972), and, with less certainty, the Toalean region of southwestern Sulawesi (van Heekeren 1972; Glover 1975). In Melanesia, a detailed sequence extending back into Pleistocene times was available for the Highlands of Papua New Guinea (Bulmer 1975), and the wide spread Lapita ceramics of the period 1500 B.C. -

The Diversity of Plankton in Sangihe – Sangir Talaud Islands, Sulawesi, Indonesia
112 Biosfera 27(3) September 2010 The Diversity of Plankton in Sangihe – Sangir Talaud Islands, Sulawesi, Indonesia Hikmah Thoha and Nurul Fitriya Plankton and Primary Productivity, Research Center for Oceanography, Indonesian Institute of Sciences,Jl. Pasir Putih No.1, , Ancol Timur, Jakarta 14430, Telp : 62 -21 – 64713850, Fax : 62 -21 – 64711948, E-mail : [email protected] ; [email protected] Abstract The research of Oceanographical Expedition was conducted on May 2009. Research Vessel of Baruna Jaya VIII was used to accommodate the research team, which is a part of the EWIN ( Widya Nusantara Expedition) project with a topic of discovering the ultimate frontier of Indonesia and strengthening our national resilience, such as survival, energy, and natural resources, food, disaster, and health. This paper shows plankton research with environment studies, such as temperature and salinity. Plankton was sampled using Kitahara Net with mesh size of 80 µm for phytoplankton and Norpac Plankton Net with mesh size of 300 µm for zooplankton. The sample was poured into a bottle with formalin of 4% as preservative from 13 stations. The results showed that the phytoplanktons consist of 22 diatom genera and 10 dinoflagellates. The phytoplankton abundance was due the flourishing of Chaetoceros sp., Rhizosolenia sp., Nitzschia sp., and Thalassiothrix sp. Ceratium sp. and Protoperidinium sp., Pyrocystis sp., and Cyanobacteria Trichodesmium sp. were common among the dinoflagellates. The zooplanktons consist of 30 taxa, the group of which are mostly composed of Copepoda, Calanoida, Cyclopoida, Oikopleura, and Chaetognata. Environmental studies were also discussed. Key words: diversity, phytoplankton, zooplankton, Sangihe – Sangir Talaud Islands Introduction The district of Sangihe is located in Northern Sulawesi Island of Central Indonesia bioregion. -

The conclusions and the recommendations given in the report are those considered appropriate at the time of its preparation. They may be modified in the light of further knowledge gained at subsequent stages of the project.

Standing fish biomass for the area around Sangihe was estimated at maximum 58 539 metric tonnes and for the Talaud shelf area at 17 881 tonnes during the relatively strong southeast monsoon. Estimates obtained for the same areas during the calm monsoon (April-May) were extremely low, i.e.,1 463 and 169 tonnes, respectively. -
