BACKGROUND
Center
of Prehistory and Austronesian Studies was established as a non-profit
& non-governmental research institution by a team of researchers
with special interests in the study of Quaternary Prehistory and Austronesian.
Past, present, and future are links of continuous
timeline. What was found today, was made and rooted in the past and will
continue to develop in the future. Within the time frame context,
Center of Prehistory and Austronesian Studies would like to partake in
understanding origins, dispersal, and development of human and their
cultures; to re-introduce and enforce personal or communal identities;
and to envision the future of our nation.
Based on the
background frame of thinking, as the pioneer of Center of Prehistory and
Austronesian Studies, Prof. Dr. T. Simanjuntak also thought that
achieving comprehensive understanding of such subjects can be solved by
applying variety of archaeological methods and interpretation. This idea
was then developed by linking professional relationships with skills
and expertise in various fields of archaeology and formed Center of
Prehistory and Austronesian Studies on December 2007.
A website
is made to support the cause and to provide information on specific
studies of origins, dispersal, and development of Austronesian in the
archipelago. Center of Prehistory and Austronesian Studies would like
also to invite professional collaboration to researchers with similar
interests to cover the vast geographical contexts and cultural aspects
of the studies.
