Penta-Helix Collaboration Model in Community Development (Batik Making in Sangiran)

The Sangiran site is one of the largest Early Man sites in the world. The Sangiran site is located in Sragen and Karanganyar Regencies. Because of its content which has high historical and scientific value, the Sangiran Site is designated as a Cultural Heritage area. In addition, UNESCO has designated Sangiran as a World Cultural Heritage. However, the local community has not used it optimally, so community empowerment is needed. Cross-stakeholder collaboration is one of the keys to successful development, as well as in community development. This study aims to build a penta-helix collaboration model in the Batik community in Sangiran by highlighting the characteristics of the Sangiran site as a batik motif. Using the penta-helix concept consisting of government, academia, private sector, community, and media. Using qualitative research methods with participatory action. Batik is one of the potentials of local residents who work as batik makers but have not been maximized to produce batik characterized by the Sangiran site while at the same time increasing financial welfare. Through the penta-helix model, it is hoped that it can realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in achieving accelerated economic development for the Sangiran village community.

The Diversity of Ray-finned Fishes (Actinopterygii) in Plio-Pleistocene Java

Java has been known in the world of Paleontology as a contributor to the findings of Homo erectus fossils, but there are still other fossil findings that have not been identified until now, especially fossil fishes of the subclass Actinopterygii. This research was conducted to recognize the diversity of the actinopterygians fishes in Plio-Pleistocene of Java and to determine the diagnostic characters of each taxon group of fossils in the Plio-Pleistocene of Java. The study was carried out using comparative anatomical methods with present-day specimens and fossil findings collection of the Laboratory of Bioanthropology and Paleoanthropology, Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada; Bandung Geological Museum and Sangiran Early Man Site. The research found at least 8 species of fish fossils in Java which belong to three order, i.e., the order Siluriformes with 5 identified species: Bagarius gigas, Hemibragus nemurus, Clarias macrocephalus, family Ariidae with indeterminate genus or species, Plotosus canius, Clarias batrachus, and family Pangasiidae with indeterminate genus or species; the order Perciformes with two identified species: Anabas testudineus and Sphyraena crassidens; and the order Cypriniformes with one identified species: Osteochilus vittatus. Based on the fossil findings showed that the Java Island during the Plio-Pleistocene used to be a marine environment that gradually ascending into a lowland river which closes to mangrove swamps and estuaries while the ancient Bandung lake site was a lacustrine environment with calm currents and is overgrown with riparian vegetation.

An Evaluation of Valuable Lands towards Landslide Susceptibility at Heritage Site, Sangiran, Central Java, Indonesia

Sangiran Early Man Site is a world heritage located in a peri-urban area in Sragen Regency, Central Java, Indonesia. Due to its significance, this 59.21 km2 area is recognized as a valuable land. However, landslides persistently threaten its existence. The research intended to evaluate 1) the landslide susceptibility and 2) the vulnerability of the valuable lands in Sangiran Site. It applied the weights-of-evidence method to produce a landslide susceptibility map, which was further validated with field survey. The analysis output included five classes of susceptibility, namely, very low, low, moderate, high, and very high. The classification aimed to generate matrices containing indications of valuable lands in each class. The field survey found no landslides in very-low susceptible areas and several small ones in low susceptible areas. Landslides were found in valuable lands endangered with a moderate degree of landslides. Large but non-risky landslides were detected in highly susceptible areas, while large and risky ones were in very highly susceptible areas. Sangiran consists of 19 valuable lands that help to narrate geological and human evolution through fossils, scarcity, stratigraphy, and other unique features. For each land, a number is assigned to it to mark priority based its importance clues. Priority 13 was included in the low susceptibility class. While priorities 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 17, and 18 belonged to moderate susceptibility class, priorities 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, and 19 were classified into high susceptibility class. Therefore, Sangiran Site comprises heterogeneous characteristics that make its valuable lands the subjects of protection against landslide occurrences.

Geology of the Sheguiandah Early Man Site: Key Concepts and Issues

The first indication that man was present in Canada well before the final retreat of glacial ice was found at the village of Sheguiandah, on Manitoulin Island, Ontario, in the early 1950s. This paper summarizes the relevant evidence and arguments. The key deposits are two thin layers of diamicton toward the top of the glacial sequence, immediately below a post-glacial level characterized by Paleo-lndian projectile points. The unsorted mixtures of clay, sand and stones contain undisputed quartzite artifacts. These diamictons are considered to be till; alternatives, such as mixing by frost action and mud flows, do not explain their origin. The means by which the artifacts survived the Laurentide glaciation are suggested by the orientation and dip of the pebbles. Apparently diverted from its normal direction of flow by a tough quartzite knob, the ice lacked much erosive power at this point, only transporting the artifacts from one part of the site to another. Geological interpretation indicates that man made the artifacts now found in the tills during Early Wisconsinan interstadials. Other evidence, in the form of prehistoric quarries, pollen analyses and radiocarbon dating, supports the published age estimate of more than 30,000 years BP.

After a summary assessment of certain selected early man sites in various parts of America, the environment of the Venezuelan coastal plain is discussed in order to evaluate the stratigraphy and radiometric dating of the Taima-Taima site, near Coro, Venezuela, where mammals, many now extinct, were killed by people making El Jobo points about 13,000 years ago.Potentially important areas in Peru, Chile and Brazil are mentioned. Certain problems in the models and interpretation of South American paleoclimates are pointed out.The presence of at least four different bifacially flaked stone projectile point traditions in widely separated and environmentally diverse parts of America between 11,000 and 13,000 yr ago suggests that the immediate cultural antecedents of these traditions were essentially independent of one another. From this it is argued that several early American flaked-stone point traditions developed indigenously in America from technological bases which were present in the Old World Middle Paleolithic.

Analysis of Lithic Flakes at the Calico Site, California

AbstractA discussion is presented of an analysis of lithic specimens recovered from the Calico Early Man Site in California. The purpose of the analysis was to determine whether there are consistent patterns of attributes that are characteristic of lithic manufacturing by man. For comparison, the same analysis was also performed on the products of experimental knapping of lithic raw materials obtained near the Calico Site. A number of conclusions from this study support the concept that the Calico lithic collection contains man-made specimens.

FOSSIL OWLS FROM EARLY MAN SITES OF OLDUVAI GORGE, TANZANIA

Summary Brodkorb, Pierce & Mourer-Chauviré, Cécile. 1984. Fossil owls from Early Man Sites of Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. Ostrich 54:17-27. Three species of owl have been recognized among the fossil bird remains of Olduvai. Bubo leakeyae n. sp. seems to be the immediate ancestor of the recent Spotted Eagle Owl Bubo africanus. The other forms are Giant Eagle Owl Bubo cf. lacteus and Barn Owl Tyto alba. These three forms indicate a landscape of lightly wooded savanna.
