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.

The Cilaki watershed is characterized by wide valley shapes in the mid to upstream areas and narrow valley shapes in the downstream area, which shape is like a wine glass. The Cilaki watershed is dominated by Quaternary volcanic deposits, while in the downstream area Tertiary sedimentary rocks are exposed. The Cilaki watershed appears to be controlled by active fault, but it isn't known how its stage of activities. The morphotectonic analysis focuses on the influences of geological structures on the shape of the watershed using remote sensing method. The tectonic frame is determined by tectonical analysis base on Southern West Java tectonic setting. We divide the morphotectonic study of the Cilaki watershed into three parts: 1) the quantitative characteristics of the geomorphology; 2) morphometrical analysis; and 3) characteristics of the geological structures. The shape and boundaries of the Cilaki watershed are determined by their structural influences.

Mining is a very crucial activity of human being and is practiced everywhere in the world, including in Bangka Belitung Province which is rich in tin, making tin is the leading commodity in this area. This study aimed at analyzing the Bangka Belitung profile, tin mining activities in this area and its impact on an environmental conditions in Bangka Belitung Islands. The study applied a descriptive-qualitative method, using data from library study and previous researches dealing with the research topic, as well as data from field observation. It concluded that tin mining has been done since the Dutch era in Bangka Belitung, and is more active today. Therefore, it is concluded that massive environmental degradation will occur should the mining practices are not stopped. The study It is recommended that the government has to strengthen its policy in the form of local regulation on the tin mining activities for erecting a better public administration practices.

  • Chapter 3 Geology & Tectonics
    Chapter 3 Geology & Tectonics 3.1 Geology The general geological features of Indonesia are shown in Figure 3.1. The basement formation is metamorphic and it is intruded with plutonic formations. They are overlain with Mesozoic, Cenozoic, recent volcanic formations and quaternary deposits. The oldest rocks of Sumatra Island are gneiss, schist and quartzite and the schists often contain gold. They probably belong to several geological periods, but all were folded and denuded before the Carboniferous beds were deposited. They form the backbone of the island, and crop out on the surface at intervals along the mountain chain which runs parallel to the west coast. They are penetrated by granitic rock at several locations, which are also Pre-Carboniferous. The next series of rocks consist of slates below and limestone above. It lies unconformably upon the older rocks; and the limestone contains Fusulina, Phihipsia and Productus, indicating that it belongs to the Upper Carboniferous. These beds are found only Figure 3.1 Regional geology of Indonesia (Indonesian Government) 12 in northern Sumatra. They are accompanied by intrusions of diabase and gabbro, and they are sometimes folded, but they are little disturbed. No Permian beds are known, and Mesozoic deposits such as Triassic clays and sandstones with Daonella have been found in the upper part of the basin of the Kwalu (East Sumatra). They rest unconformably upon the Carboniferous beds, and have been steeply tilted. Cretaceous beds also have been buckled. Tertiary deposits are very widely spread over the plains and low-lying regions. They consist of breccias, conglomerates, sandstones, marls, and limestones, with seams of coal and lignite.

  • Sequence Stratigraphy Applied to the Hydrocarbon Productive Basins of Western Indonesia
    AAPG Internatumal Con/erma d &hibitul/I '94 Augl"'t 21-24.1994. Kuala Lumpur, MalaY.lul Sequence stratigraphy applied to the hydrocarbon productive basins of western Indonesia S. COURTENEY 124 Wangford Road Reydon, Suffolk, IP18 SNZ, England Abstract: Oil exploration began in Indonesia in 1870 and the first commercial discovery was made in 1885 in the North Sumatra Basin_ Since then over 3,000 exploratory wells have been drilled in Western Indonesia with some 750 discoveries reported. By the end of 1992 over 300 fields in eleven geological basins were producing in Western Indonesia and a further 100 fields were either shut-in or had been abandoned. However, despite the fact that Western Indonesia is a mature hydrocarbon province, all published work of a regional nature, and indeed most internal company reports, use lithostratigraphy and to a lesser extent biostratigraphy_ Lithostratigraphy is based, often unwittingly, on pre-1960's work when only relatively shallow wells and limited seismic were available. Additional difficulties arise from companies using alternative names for a rock unit and the same formation name for different rock units_ Biostratigraphy is handicapped by the lack of age diagnostic fossils in the Early Miocene and older sediments in most of Sumatra and Natuna_ In Java and Kalimantan, where the older section tends to be more marine and age diagnostic fossils are present, significant errors in age determination occur due to reworking of sediments_ As a consequence the 'hydrocarbon system' in Western Indonesia is inadequately understood and exploration efforts are often poorly applied_ This paper proposes a correlative framework using sequence stratigraphy for the hydrocarbon productive basins of Western Indonesia, which should contribute to a better understanding of the 'hydrocarbon system' and significantly reduce exploration risk in Western Indonesia.
