IDENTIFICATION AND LATEST INTERPRETATION OF HUMAN REMAINS IN LEANG JARIE SITE (LJ-1), MAROS, SOUTH SULAWESI
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article aims to provide further interpretation of human skeleton from the Leang Jarie site (LJ-1), Maros, South Sulawesi. The context of this human skeleton comes from Neolithic period that associate with bone remains, faunal bones artefacts, lithic artefact, mollusk shells, pottery and ochre. Anatomical description, analysis and interpretation of individuals are a priority for comparisons with previous explorations. The updated biological aspects are based on sex, age at death, estimated height and the affiliation the of the individual. The method used physical anthropology and bioarchaeology to obtain more detailed observations of the osteology and biological aspects of the LJ-1 skeleton. The size of the LJ-1 mandible was compared with the average size of other modern humans in the Southeast Asian Archipelago and the Pacific region. The results show some changes to the initial distinctions that had been made. The individual’s height was between 157–166 cm, and he was a male with the estimated age at death of 30–49 years. Also relevant to the individual’s affiliation, the extant mandibular sockets reveal loss of the teeth before death (alveoloclasia). It is concluded that the LJ-1 individual belonged to a Neolithic society whose subsistence economy was characterized by the consumption of carbohydrates.
Artikel ini bertujuan memberikan interpretasi lanjutan terhadap rangka manusia dari situs Leang Jarie (LJ-1), Maros, Sulawesi Selatan. Konteks temuan rangka berasal dari masa Neolitik dengan asosiasi temuan berupa tulang sisa makanan, artefak tulang fauna, artefak batu, cangkang moluska, tembikar dan oker. Deskripsi anatomis, analisis dan interpretasi individu menjadi prioritas pembahasan dibandingkan penelitian identifikasi sebelumnya. Aspek biologis yang terbarukan antara lain peninjauan terhadap penentuan jenis kelamin, usia kematian, estimasi tinggi badan dan afiliasi individu. Metode yang digunakan yaitu pengamatan osteologi dan aspek biologis temuan rangka LJ-1 secara detail dengan pendekatan antropologi ragawi dan bioarkeologi. Untuk ukuran mandibula LJ-1, dilakukan perbandingan dengan ukuran rata-rata mandibula manusia modern di kepulauan Asia Tenggara dan Wilayah Pasifik. Hasil identifikasi menunjukkan beberapa perbedaan dibandingkan dengan identifikasi awal yang telah dilakukan. Ukuran tinggi individu yaitu antara 157– 166 cm, berjenis kelamin laki-laki dengan estimasi kematian pada usia 30 – 49 tahun. Berhubungan dengan kondisi patologis LJ-1, soket mandibula yang tersisa menunjukkan hilangnya gigi sebelum kematian (alveoloklasia). Demikian juga disimpulkan bahwa LJ-1 adalah bagian dari masyarakat Neolitik yang ekonomi subsistensinya ditandai dengan pengkonsumsian kaya karbohidrat.
