English to Indonesian: Wikipedia Excerpt - Archaeology General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Archaeology
Source text - English Archaeology, or archeology, is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts and cultural landscapes. Archaeology can be considered both a social science and a branch of the humanities. In North America archaeology is a sub-field of anthropology, while in Europe it is often viewed as either a discipline in its own right or a sub-field of other disciplines.
Archaeologists study human prehistory and history, from the development of the first stone tools at Lomekwi in East Africa 3.3 million years ago up until recent decades. Archaeology is distinct from palaeontology, the study of fossil remains. It is particularly important for learning about prehistoric societies, for whom there may be no written records to study. Prehistory includes over 99% of the human past, from the Paleolithic until the advent of literacy in societies across the world. Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation and eventually analysis of data collected to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. It draws upon anthropology, history, art history, classics, ethnology, geography, geology, literary history, linguistics, semiology, textual criticism, physics, information sciences, chemistry, statistics, paleoecology, paleography, paleontology, paleozoology, and paleobotany.
Translation - Indonesian Arkeologi adalah ilmu yang mempelajari perilaku manusia melalui penemuan dan analisis tinggalan budaya. Rekaman data arkeologi meliputi artefak, arsitektur, biofak atau ekofak, dan bentang budaya. Arkeologi dapat dianggap sebagai ilmu budaya dan cabang ilmu humaniora. Di Amerika Utara, arkeologi merupakan sub-bidang antropologi, sementara di Eropa arkeologi lebih sering dilihat sebagai satu disiplin yang berdiri sendiri atau sebagai sub-bidang dari disiplin ilmu lain.
Ahli arkeologi mempelajari prasejarah manusia dan sejarah, sejak perkembangan awal alat batu di Lomekwi, Asia Timur 3,3 juta tahun yang lalu hingga beberapa dekade terakhir. Arkeologi adalah ilmu yang berbeda dari paleontologi yang merupakan ilmu tentang fosil. Mempelajari masyarakat prasejarah sangat penting sebab tidak ada rekaman tertulis yang dapat menjadi dasar pembelajaran. Prasejarah meliputi lebih dari 99% masa lalu manusia, terhitung sejak masa Paleolitik hingga awal kemampuan untuk tulis-baca pada masyarakat di seluruh dunia. Arkeologi memiliki berbagai tujuan yang mencakup pemahaman akan sejarah budaya dalam merekonstruksi kehidupan masa lalu, serta merekam dan menjelaskan perubahan yang terjadi pada masyarakat.
Ilmu ini meliputi kegiatan survei, ekskavasi, dan juga analisis data yang dikumpulkan untuk mempelajari masa lampau. Secara umum, arkeologi bertumpu pada penelitian yang bersifat lintas-disiplin. Termasuk di dalamnya, ilmu antropologi, sejarah, sejarah seni, sejarah klasik, etnologi, geografi, geologi, sejarah literatur, linguistik, semiologi, kritik tekstual, fisika, ilmu informatika, kimia, statistik, paleo-ekologi, paleografi, paleontologi, paleo-zoologi, dan paleo-botani.
Indonesian to English: HUMAN EVOLUTION IN INDONESIA IN THE SOUTHEAST ASIAN CONTEXT General field: Science Detailed field: Archaeology
Source text - Indonesian Indonesia salah satu dari sedikit negara di dunia yang memiliki bukti-bukti sejarah hunian manusia yang sangat panjang. Kawasan yang terbentang di garis katulistiwa ini telah kedatangan migrasi manusia sejak kala Plestosen Bawah dan berlanjut dengan rangkaian migrasi-migrasi berikutnya hingga kala Holosen. Manusia purba, Homo erectus, sebagai bagian dari migrasi Out of Africa telah menghuni Indonesia lebih dari 1,5 juta tahun yang lalu. Bukti-bukti kehadiran dan kehidupannya ditemukan berupa fosil dan artefak di berbagai situs di Jawa dan Flores. Kemampuan beradaptasi pada lingkungan-lingkungan setempat memampukannya bertahan dan berevolusi selama lebih satu juta tahun, dari tipe arkaik pada kala Plestosen Bawah, ke tipe klasik pada Plestosen Tengah, dan tipe progresif pada akhir Plestosen Tengah- awal Plestosen Atas. Mengandalkan hasil berburu dan meramu, mereka hidup mengembara di sekitar aliran sungai dengan membuat peralatan litik dan kemungkinan juga peralatan dari bahan organik. Tidak seperti fisiknya yang berevolusi dalam tiga tingkatan, peralatan litik yang dicirikan oleh kelompok chopper/chopping tool tampak lebih monoton. Satu-satunya perkembangan yang berarti dicirikan oleh munculnya the so-called Acheulean tools di sekitar awal Plestosen Tengah.
Translation - English by T. Simanjuntak (CPAS Indonesia)
Indonesia is one of the few countries containing evidence of widespread human occupations. Located in the equator, this area has been a destination for migration since Early Pleistocene and continued to accept migration flows up to Holocene era. Homo erectus as a part of “Out of Africa” migration scenario have inhabited Indonesia since more than 1.5 million years ago. Evidence of their existence and occupation were found across the islands of Java and Flores as fossils and artefacts. Their ability to adapt environmentally had made it possible for them to survive and evolve for more than one million years; spanning from archaic types during Early Pleistocene, classical types during Middle Pleistocene, and progressive types occurred during the late Middle Pleistocene and early Late Pleistocene era. By depending greatly on their hunting and gathering skills, they lived as nomads, who travelled along the riverbanks. They also made lithic tools and perhaps make use of other tools made of organic materials. Unlike their evolving physical appearances, their skills on producing lithic tools appear to be more monotonic, such as chopper/chopping tools. Nevertheless, the only sophistication appeared in their lithic assemblage can be found in the so-called Acheulean tools originated from the early Middle Pleistocene.
Early Modern Human (EMH) migration, which occurred during the second half of Late Pleistocene (or perhaps even earlier), is considered as the next stage of “Out of Africa” migration. Evidence of human remains and artefacts in various Indonesian sites suggests anatomically modern human have contemporarily occupied wide range of areas since 40.000-30.000 years ago, such as Southeast Asia, Western Melanesia, and Australia. In Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia, their lifestyle can be characterised by habitation of caves or rock shelters and depending their livelihood by hunting and gathering. This group of EMH would then descend as Austromelanesoids during Early Holocene with widening dispersals and developed more sophistication on cultural aspect. During 4500 BP, Indonesia was penetrated by migration of people coming from mainland Southeast Asia supporting Austroasiatic languages. By 4000 BP, there were people migrating from Taiwan through the islands of the Philippines and spoke Austronesian languages. In this case, both groups are Mongoloids and adhered to Neolithic cultures.
Abstract for Paper presented in Bangkok, November 2016
English to Indonesian: Butterflies: Symbols of Life and Hope (excerpt) General field: Social Sciences Detailed field: Philosophy
Source text - English Many cultures, both native and ancient, have used the energy and symbolism of the natural world as totems to guide and teach. A totem is a natural object, animal or insect, that has special meaning to that person. The Chinese zodiac, for instance, is based on animal signs. Native Americans also use the characteristics of animals to learn virtues of strength, patience, cleverness, and much more.
Butterflies are common throughout the world. In fact, there are over 28,000 species of butterflies; 80 percent exist in tropical regions. Although they symbolize different things to different cultures, universally butterflies represent change and transformation. Why? Because the butterfly is an insect that begins its life in one form and ends it in another. A butterfly starts as a crawling creature, then it hibernates in a cocoon, only to rejoin the world as a flying insect.
Translation - Indonesian Kupu-kupu sebagai Simbol Kehidupan dan Harapan
Berbagai budaya kuno dan budaya asli suatu daerah meyakini bahwa energy dan simbolisme alam merupakan azimat (jimat) yang dapat digunakan sebagai petunjuk dan pengajaran kehidupan. Jimat ini dapat berupa benda alam, seperti hewan, yang memiliki makna khusus bagi seseorang. Kalender Cina, misalnya, dikenal menggunakan simbol-simbol tanda lahir berdasarkan hewan. Suku Amerika Asli juga dikenal menggunakan simbol hewan dalam menggambarkan makna-makna kekuatan, kesabaran, dan kepintaran seseorang.
Kupu-kupu merupakan salah satu hewan yang lazim ditemui di mana pun. Di dunia ini, setidaknya ada 28.000 spesies kupu-kupu dan 80% dari jumlah tersebut berkembang biak di wilayah tropis. Meskipun kupu-kupu menggambarkan hal yang berbeda bagi setiap kebudayaan, secara umum kupu-kupu dikenal sebagai simbol perubahan dan transformasi. Mengapa? Karena kupu-kupu merupakan jenis serangga yang memulai hidupnya sebagai hewan lain, yaitu ulat, sebelum akhirnya berubah dan mengakhiri hidupnya sebagai kupu-kupu.
