Sebaran Permukiman Kuno pada DAS Lamandau di Kawasan Kalimantan Bagian Barat Daya: Perspektif Arkeologi Keruangan: The Distribution of Old Settlements in Lamandau River Basin in The Southwest Region of Kalimantan: Perspective of Spatial Archaeology

The potential of archaeology in Sungai Lamandau catchment has not been intensively explored. The ancient settlement is one of the interesting archaeological potentials to be studied in this area. This study aims to understand the pattern of macro distribution of ancient settlements in Sungai Lamandau catchment. Understanding the distribution patterns of ancient settlements is expected to provide a reference for local wisdom in adapting to the environment, selecting residential locations, and building vernacular architecture. Therefore, this study uses a spatial archeology approach on a macro scale. Research results showed that laterally (spatial), the distribution of ancient settlements in Sungai Lamandau catchment was divided into three regions, i.e. downstream; midlestream; and upstream Vertically (time), the oldest settlement occurred in the upper reaches of Sungai Lamandau, while the most recent one is in around the area of middlestream The characteristics of multicomponent site were identified to be located in the lower and midstream parts of Sungai Lamandau catchment, which contains the most complex findings.The archaeology potential in Lamandau river basin has not been intensively explored.
