Abstract
Pulau Abidon merupakan suatu pulau karang berbukit-bukit yang berada di kawasan pulau-pulau terluar Raja Ampat di Papua Barat bagian utara. Tulisan ini membahas mengenai potensi arkeologi yang terdapat di situs gua-gua di Pulau Abidon. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memahami potensi arkeologi yang terdapat di Pulau Abidon. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini bersifat eksploratif. Berdasarkan data dan hasil analisis diindikasikan adanya persentuhan budaya asing yang masuk ke kawasan Papua. Potensi arkeologis tersebut dibuktikan dengan tinggalan fragmen gerabah dan lukisan dinding gua. Gambar arang di Gua Abidon 3 menggambarkan kontak budaya dengan penutur bahasa Austronesia. Lebih lanjut, hunian gua dibuktikan dengan temuan berupa alat-alat dari batu, tulang, dan kerang, fragmen gerabah, dan perhiasan kerang. Tinggalan budaya di gua-gua pulau Abidon diduga merupakan alat-alat penunjang kehidupan para penghuninya.
Pulau Abidon is a hilly coral island located in the outer islands of Raja Ampat in the northern region of Papua Barat. This research discusses the potency of archaeology in cave sites on Pulau Abidon. This research was aimed to comprehend the archaeology of Pulau Abidon. The method used in this research is exploratory. Based on the data and analysis results, it is indicated that there was a cultural contact with a foreign culture that entered the Papua region. This potency of archaeology was evident by potsherds and rock arts. The charcoal drawings in Gua Abidon 3 illustrate a cultural contact with the Austronesian-language speakers. Furthermore, the cave habitation was evident also by the discovery of tools of stone, bones and shells, and shell ornaments. The cultural heritage in the caves on Pulau Abidon is suggested to be a means of supporting the life of the inhabitants.
