Warisan Bahari Indonesia
Sejak kedatangan para penutur rumpun bahasa Austronesi dan mendiami pulau-pulau di Nusantara, bangsa ini sudah menjadi Bangsa Bahari. Mereka mendiami pulau-pulau di Nusantara dengan berbeda-beda kebudayaannya, tergantung dari lingkungan alam tempatnya hdup. Dari beberapa kelompok masyarakat bahari, lama-kelamaan terbentuk kerajaan bahari seperti Sriwijaya, Mataram, Singhasari, Majapahit, dan Goa-Tallo (Makassar). Mereka juga menciptakan aturan-aturan kebaharian yang menunjukkan kedaulatannya di laut. Dari sinilah gagasan penyatuan Nusantara dimulai. Dalam upaya menjalankan kehidupannya di Nusantara, anak Bangsa Bahari ini menciptakan moda transportasi air dengan teknologi “kerok” serta teknologi “papan-ikat dan kupingan pengikat”. Anak Bangsa Bahari ini membentuk kelompok-kelompok suku bangsa yang seluruh hidupnya di laut. Dikenal ada suku bangsa Bajo, Ameng Sewang, dan Orang Laut. Peralatan menangkap ikannya juga bermacam-macam, tergantung di perairan yang bagaimana ikan ditangkap.
Treasures of Sumatra
Buku ini mengenai ulasan penyelenggaraan pameran bersama yang secara khusus mengangkat kekayaan budaya Sumatera. Pada tahun 2003 Museum Nasional Indonesia (MNI) dan Rijksmuseum voor Volkenkunde, Leiden (RMV) mengawali suatu kesepakatan kerjasama. Salah satu bentuk kerjasama tersebut adalah penyelenggaraan pameran "Warisan Budaya Bersama atau Shared Cultural Haritage pada tahun 2005. Kerjasama tersebut tidak hanya sebatas pada penyelenggaraan pameran dan seminar di kedua negara, melainkan juga pada program-program pengembangan sumber daya manusia (SOM) di bidang penelitian koleksi, manajemen koleksi, dan edukasi. Kerjasama yang erat antara MNI dan RMV terus berlanjut hingga saat ini. Pada tahun ini kembali kami mewujudkan suatu penyelenggaraan pameran bersama yang secara khusus mengangkat kekayaan budaya Sumatera yang berjudul "Treasures of Sumatra".
TheMaritime Legacy of Indonesia
Indonesian historical development has witnessed the rise and fall of numerous kingdoms. Srivijaya (7th - 11th centuries) and Majapahit (13th - 15th centuries) are names that ring out over the passing ages as two of the greatest maritime empires the region has seen. They operated huge fleets that controlled the waters around them and used their maritime expertise to effectively manage the ocean's potential resources in order to reap optimal political, economic, social and cultural advantage and reward. The legacy of this great maritime heritage resounds until today; we can see the traces in the lifeways of ethnic groups in Nias, Mentawai, the Suku Laut of the Riau Islands, Bajau, Bugus, Maluk...
The Creative South
This edited volume programmatically reconsiders the creative contribution of the littoral and insular regions of Maritime Asia to shaping new paradigms in the Buddhist and Hindu art and architecture of the mediaeval Asian world. Far from being a mere southern conduit for the maritime circulation of Indic religions, in the period from ca. the 7th to the 14th century those regions transformed across mainland and island polities the rituals, icons, and architecture that embodied these religious insights with a dynamism that often eclipsed the established cultural centres in Northern India, Central Asia, and mainland China. This collective body of work brings together new research aiming to reca...

A View from the Highlands
This book analyses the rise of the settlement system in the heartland of the Minangkabau region in the highlands of West Sumatra, Indonesia. It explores the regional settlement pattern arising from Adityavarman’s highland interregnum (c. 1347–75), and provides the first attempt to place the archaeological remains and the landscape of Tanah Datar, a fertile plain in the highlands of West Sumatra, in a cultural historic synthesis. The core of this research consisted of excavations at Bukit Gombak and Bukit Kincir. Bukit Gombak was a central place in Adityavarman’s kingdom, and provides evidence of the organization and material development of this political entity. Surveys uncovered other settlements that could be examined in relation to each other and to sites from earlier and later periods, and used to sketch out the settlement history of Tanah Datar from prehistoric times to the colonial period. The book consists of detailed studies of metal, ceramics and glass finds by laboratory-based specialists as well as careful descriptions of stone, clay and other finds.
The Emporium of the World
This volume, by offering a score of new insights derived from a wide variety of recent archaeological and textual sources, bring to life an important overseas trading port in Southeast Asia: Quanzhou. During the Song and Yuan dynasties active official and unofficial engagement in trade had formative effects on the development of the maritime trade of Quanzhou and its social and economic position both regionally and supraregionally. In the first part subjects such as the impact of the Song imperial clan and the local élites on these developments, the economic importance of metals, coins, paper money, and changes in the political economy, are amply discussed. The second part concentrates on the quantitative and qualitative analysis of archaeological data and materials, the investigation of commodities from China, their origins, distribution and final destinations, the use of foreign labour, and the particular role of South Thailand in trade connections, thus supplying the hard data underlying the main argument of the book.
Singapore and the Silk Road of the Sea, 1300_1800
Beneath the modern skyscrapers of Singapore lie the remains of a much older trading port, prosperous and cosmopolitan and a key node in the maritime Silk Road. This book synthesizes 25 years of archaeological research to reconstruct the 14th-century port of Singapore in greater detail than is possible for any other early Southeast Asian city. The picture that emerges is of a port where people processed raw materials, used money, and had specialized occupations. Within its defensive wall, the city was well organized and prosperous, with a cosmopolitan population that included residents from China, other parts of Southeast Asia, and the Indian Ocean. Fully illustrated, with more than 300 maps and colour photos, Singapore and the Silk Road of the Sea presents Singapore's history in the context of Asia's long-distance maritime trade in the years between 1300 and 1800: it amounts to a dramatic new understanding of Singapore's pre-colonial past.
Hikayat Hang Tuha (atau Hikayat Hang Tua)
Karya ini sekali lagi mempamerkan keberanian pengarangnya dalam memberikan tafsiran baru terhadap satu lagi karya klasik agung orang Melayu. Kali ini dengan menggunakan kaedah filologi, Prof. Emeritus Datuk Dr. Ahmat Adam secara kritis telah membedah isi kandungan sebuah hikayat yang selama lebih daripada dua abad ternyata salah dibaca dan silap ditransliterasikan ke huruf Rumi oleh para pengkaji Orientalis dan tempatan. Kesalahan zaman-berzaman ini jugalah yang menjadikan hikayat yang masyhur ini telah silap ditafsirkan bukan sahaja dari segi penyebutan nama gelaran Laksamana Melaka yang sebenar, tetapi juga dari segi isi kandungan yang menceritakan petualangan Laksamana yang masyhur itu. Y...
