GENERAL HISTORY OF ARTERACTS

What Artefacts Found in Lenggong? There are many Artefacts found in Lenggong, featuring “Perak Man” and past cultural lifestyle. Artefacts such as stone tools, pottery and even ornaments that used as accessory. Biofacts as in human skeletal remains and geofacts such as metorite are found in Lenggong.

Scientific Definition Artefacts are objects made by a human beings, typically one of cultural or historical interest. In general terms, it also be used to refer to the remains of an object, such as carvings on walls, broken shards of pottery, stone-tools, and even skeleton remains etc.

Are Artefacts Important? Artefacts are useful to scholars who want to learn about a past culture. Many ancient cultures do not actively record their history, they were focus on survival and lifestyles. Artifacts are sometimes provide the only clues about how the people lived.

Artefacts Background in Lenggong ITEMS THATS MADE BY US

Types of Artefacts In general, all past objects or remains can be considered as an Artefacts. Artefacts can be split into 3 sub-topics. There are Artefacts, Biofacts (or ecofact) and Geofacts.

Archaeological Heritage of the Lenggong Valley is one of the longest culture sequences in a single locality in the world. This long culture sequence stretches from the Palaeolithic to the Neolithic and Metal periods, chronometrically dated from 1.83 million to 1,000 years ago. The richness of the Archaeological Heritage of the Lenggong Valley has been proven by discoveries of one of the largest numbers of in-situ open-air Palaeolithic sites in Southeast Asia and numerous cave sites over a 20year period of multidisciplinary and scientific research. The crowning moment was the discovery of the in-situ Palaeolithic site of Kota Tampan in 1987 which has provided accurate dating and rare insights into the minds of the tool makers on their choice of raw materials, their understanding of lithic materials and the techniques of tool-making. This has made Kota Tampan an important reference site for Palaeolithic stone tool making in the world.

WHAT IS AN ARTEFACT ?

Archaeological Heritage of the Lenggong Valley also yielded the Perak Man – the oldest most complete skeleton in Southeast Asia, dated about 10,000 years ago. This prehistoric skeleton provided the only known evidence of a congenital deformity known as Brachymesophalangia Type 2A and knowledge on Palaeolithic burial ritual. Given its importance and significance in terms of world human history, Archaeological Heritage of

Biofacts/Ecofacts

Geofacts

Artefacts are objects made by a human beings, typically one of cultural or historical interest. Artefacts which are purposefully manipulated for lifestyle improvement.

Biofacts (or ecofacts) are organic material that carries archaeological significance such as animal bones, charcoal, plants, and pollen. Biofacts are passively consumed or handled by humans. Biofacts reveal how ancient cultures respond to their surroundings.

Geofacts are natural stone formation that is difficult to distinguish from a man-made artifact. Geofacts could be fluvially reworked and be misinterpreted as an artifact, especially when compared to paleolithic artifacts

ARCHAEOLOGICAL PROCESS 4. Excavating the Site

1. Discovering New Sites Archaeological sites are discovered in a variety of ways. Archaeologists consult maps, deeds, census, tax and other records.

Archaeologists make accurate maps of each site prior to excavation. Drawing a base map that indicates where the site is located. During the excavation, the archaeologists add to the Map to Show which portions of the site were excavated and where Features and Artifacts were Discovered.

Historical sites can also be located through field surveys through the Hints of Old Relic and Survey of Locals. Archaeologists also use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the archaeological review process. Archaeologists Tools Used

5. Cleaning and Cataloging

2. Conducting Research Archaeologists rely on written information in their research sourced from original written records from the period of time that is studied by archaeologists and historians. This process is to Speculate and Proof that the artefects are real. Archaeologists are needed to use strategies and methods that minimize impacts to archaelogical resources.

Excavation is only a small part of an archaeologist’s work. After excavation, the job of cleaning, analyzing and interpreting begins. It is estimated that for every hour of excavation it takes at least twenty hours of laboratory and other work to complete an analysis and report. Often this study and analysis continues for years after the excavation has been completed. It is important to remember that the archaeologist is not just looking for individual objects. The value is what the entire collection or assemblage can tell the archaeologist about the site and the events that happened there through time. Each artifact is then catalogued and analyzed with others found in the same context.

3. Permits Obtaining necessary Permits from (federal, state, local)

6. Reporting the Result The interpretation of the data gathered from the excavation is an ongoing and lengthy process, but cannot be overlooked. Ultimately, Interpretation takes the Form of Publications such as Site Reports and Books, as well as Lectures or Exhibitions.

MAN-MADE ARTEFACTS Ornaments (Shellfish)

Clay Pottery

Shellfishes shells are discovered near skeleton of the “Perak Man”. There are a total of 2878 shells are collected from grave at different depths.

There are 3 burial sites in Gua Harimau, Lenggong. In burial site 1 and 7, a skeleton with a stature around 160cm was found associated with a cluster of pottery.

82% of shell were collected from above the body of “Perak Man” Shells could be separated into 3 categories small, medium and large shells. There are 42.7% of medium shells and 18.5% of large shells.

The excavation of “Perak Man”

The species of the Shellfish are mainly belong to the Brotia costula and some Brotia spinosa. These Shellfish are still eaten today and the method of preparing them then could be similar to the present practice as judged from the character of the remains.

BROTIA COSTULA

Spicy Balitong

BROTIA SPINOSA

Pots were tools for cooking, serving, and storing food, and pottery was also an avenue of artistic expression. Prehistoric potters formed and decorated their vessels in a variety of ways. Often potters in one community or region made a few characteristic styles of pots.

Riverine Shells - Chopped or Whole

Comparison of Shellfish cuisine of Past and Present In comparison of the past and present shellfish cuisine are still similar whereas we suck the flesh off the shell to eat. The end of each shell was broken off so that the flesh inside can be sucked out through the cavity made. In speculation, “Perak Man” uses a hammerstone tools to break the shells and ate the flesh before going into habitation. In a burial in Gua Harimau, Lenggong, shells were also used as earrings. It was found near a fragments from the upper half of a skeleton. It was included a translucent glass bead in the mouth, a small bone pendant, a pair of Conus shell earrings and a shell scraper placed near it’s right arm. Shellfish Ornaments used as Bracelets & Necklace FABIAN SHAWN 1001746841

PERAK MAN Lenggong Valley is also home to the most important archaeological discovery, the Perak Man. Lenggong Archeological Museum is located in Kota Tampan, near Lenggong.

Biofact A Biofact is a natural object or remains of some sort of life from the past. Unlike artefacts these are not man made of course and unlike geofacts these must be a living being of sorts. We use these to study past life and how they came to be what they are today.

Found as the earliest man with a serious condition which makes specific limbs better than others. An Malaysian ID can be found at the site showing the age range of the perak man according to the time he passed as well as other info. believed to have died around 4045 years of age which is long time for early man.

Perak Man: is the name given to the skeletal remains of a man thought to have lived about 11,000 years ago in the Lenggong Valley district of Hulu Perak. It is the oldest human skeleton found so far in Peninsular Malaysia. The remains were discovered in 1991 in a cave called Gua Gunung Runtuh, a few kilometres north of the town of Lenggong and 105 metres above sea level. The skeleton and other exhibits are found in the Lenggong Valley area and are now in showcase in a museum, the Lenggong Valley Archeological Gallery.

The remains were found in a cave on the site and excavated with the most care and attention.

3D model made based of the skeleton to see what he would have looked like.

The position the perak man was found is believed to show his importance when he was buried as well as the stone tools, shells and food found around him.

METEORITE

In space they are many types of rocks, debris, dust and metal some of the rocks and the metal in the some are called meteoroids. Some of these manage to hit a planets atmosphere these that do are called meteors. Some that are larger and manage to pass the atmosphere can then in turn come all the way down and hit the surface of the planet these go on to be called meteorite.

Geofact A geofact is a natural historical object such as stone formations or meteorites that are not man made and not from any living being. These natural occurrences have been seen and studied all over the world.

On the left we see a depiction of what the excavation of the meteor would have looked like. With few pictures of the whole study but many of the exact specimens.

rocks still high up are called meteroids.

Bukit Bunuh Site, Lenggong Park Not a cave site, but it is related to Malaysian archaeology and the Lenngong Valley in Perak. This is where the meteorites on the space were found. Bukit Bunuh is in the Lenggong valley, Perak, Malaysia. The excavation site at Bukit Bunuh was dug about 2000 and revealed stone artefacts, and the litho workshop was dated at 40,000 years.

those that reach the atmosphere are meteors

Those that penetrate and reach all the way to the surface of the planet are Meteorites.

OFFERINGS IN BURIAL RITUALS Buried Position “Perak Man” was buried in a position where his hands are crossed and knees position up to his chest.

3. ANIMAL BONES

Importants Burial Rituals Rituals are symbolic activities that expresses the deepest thoughts and feelings about life’s most important events. The burial ritual is a public, traditional and symbolic means of expressing our beliefs, thoughts and feelings about the death of someone loved and respected. Rich in history, burial rituals helps to acknowledge the reality of the death, gives testimony to the life of the deceased, encourages the expression of grief, allows for the embracing of faith and beliefs about life and death, and offers continuity and hope for the living.

What are Buried in Rituals ? “Perak Man” is a well respected shaman in the tribe, he gives order and advices to his people. Unlike most tribes men that hunts “Perak Man” can only advice and orders due to a sickness and soon after he died to it. Soon after, the people buried him in respect to honor his services and care. What are the artefects found in his burial ?

1. Stone Tools Stone tools can be found at the burial lying next to his skeleton, assuming that it was used or own by “Perak Man” before he died.

2. Animal Bones (Food) “Perak Man” was buried with food on his hand. Tribesmen buried food with him to show their respect to him, food such as wild pig and lizards. At the time, food are highly valued.

1. STONE TOOLS 2. Shellfish Shells Shellfish shells are located below the skeleton of “Perak Man” this shellfish can be considered food or ornaments to show respects to him.

MATERIAL SELECTION OF TOOLS

Direct percussion flaking

TYPE OF MATERIAL

A method of removing flakes by swinging the core against an anvil. Produces large thick flakes. Used extensively in the Clactonian toolmaking industries.

Anvil or Block-on-Block technique

Stone hammer technique or Direct percussion technique A suitable shaped stone is used as hammer and strikes at an inclined angle on the surface of a lump of stone and that result to the removal of a flake with a positive bulb of percussion.

Cylinder hammer technique

SUEVITE

QUARTS

QUARTZITE

BRONZE

Suevite is a rock consisting partly of melted material, typically forming a breccia containing glass and crystal or lithic fragments, formed during an impact event. It forms part of a group of rock types and structures that are known as impactites.

Quartz is a hard,crystalline mineral composed of silica (silicon dioxide). Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth’s continental crust, behind feldspar. Quartz exists in two forms, the normal B-quartz and the high-temperature .β-quartz, both of which are chiral.

Quartzite is a hard, nonfoliated metamorphic rock which was originally pure quartz sandstone. Pure quartzite is usually white to grey, though quartzites often occur in various shades of pink and red due to varying amounts of hematite. Other colors, such as yellow, green, blue and orange, are due to other minerals.

What Is Bronze? Bronze is a metal alloy that primarily contains copper and 12% tin. Other elements such as aluminum, arsenic, manganese, phosphorus, and silicon are also added to yield different properties. These mixtures form some of the common bronze alloys, including: Leaded bronze.

Hardness scale: 3

TECHNIQUES OF TOOL MAKING

The advanced tool making technology developed in the early palaeolithic times is the soft hammer or cylinder hammer technique. In this case, the hammer is of a cylindrical bone or antler or hard wood; soft stone might be used.

Bipolar technique The technique whereby a core is placed on an anvil and a flake is detached by striking it with a third implement. The flake is characterized by a double bulb of percussion, one at each of its ends or, more often on quartz flakes, by crushing at each end.

Stepped or Resolved/controlled flaking technique As the name signifies the flake scars produced by this technique are shaped like a step. Here the hammer directs the force inside the thicker part of the stone in contradistinction to force directed outwards in the case of free flaking technique.

Clactonian technique Clactonian industry, early flake tool tradition of Europe. Rather primitive tools were made by striking flakes from a flint core in alternating directions; used cores were later used as choppers. Flakes were trimmed and used as scrapers or knives.

Levalloisian technique

INTRODUCTION We can broadly group the stone tool making techniques of prehistoric periods into four. They are percussion, blade, grinding & polishing and shattering. Out of these four groups, the percussion group has two sub-groups, the direct percussion and the indirect percussion. The direct percussion sub-group consists of eight techniques.

A method of creating stone tools by first striking flakes off the stone, or core, along the edges to create the prepared core and then striking the prepared core in such a way that the intended tool is flaked off with all of its edges presharpened.

Discoid core or Mousterian technique This is also a prepared core technique for obtaining a flake. In this case the prepared core resembles a circular or disc shape. Any one of the flake scars on the core serves as striking platform and a flake with 2 to 4 truncated flake scars on the dorsal surface could be detached by striking with a stone hammer.

Indirect percussion flaking Indirect percussion flaking is a process where some device holds the core or flake being worked, leaving both hands free to drive off flakes with greater force or precision. One hand holds a punch-like piece of antler or bone against the core while the other holds a hammer and strikes the punch to drive off flakes. CHONG JUN KIAT 1001748545
