Abstract

The presence of archaeological sites, specifically caves, in North Konawe Regency provides evidence of human habitation dating back to prehistoric times. Despite the challenges posed by difficult terrain and limited access, which hinder archaeological research, the Gua Ladori site in Bendewuta Village, Oheo District, North Konawe, is notable for its rich assemblage of artifacts. This study aims to identify the archaeological remains at Gua Ladori and assess their significance within the prehistoric context of Sulawesi, with a particular focus on North Konawe. The research methodology involves three stages: data collection, data processing and analysis, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal a diverse array of artifacts, including bone fragments, ceramics (earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain), stone tools, shell remains, and rock art. Analysis indicates that the earthenware and porcelain ceramics are likely from the 14th to 17th centuries AD

Bahasa Abstract

Keberadaan situs arkeologi, khususnya gua, di Kabupaten Konawe Utara menjadi bukti adanya pemukiman manusia sejak masa prasejarah. Meskipun medan yang sulit dan akses yang terbatas menjadi tantangan dalam penelitian arkeologi, situs Gua Ladori di Desa Bendewuta, Kecamatan Oheo, Konawe Utara, terkenal dengan kekayaan artefaknya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi sisa-sisa arkeologi di Gua Ladori dan menilai signifikansinya dalam konteks prasejarah Sulawesi, khususnya Konawe Utara. Metodologi penelitian ini meliputi tiga tahap: pengumpulan data, pengolahan dan analisis data, serta penarikan kesimpulan. Temuan menunjukkan berbagai artefak, termasuk fragmen tulang, keramik (gerabah, stoneware, dan porselen), alat-alat batu, sisa-sisa kerang, serta seni cadas. Analisis menunjukkan bahwa keramik gerabah dan porselen kemungkinan berasal dari abad ke-14 hingga ke-17 Masehi.
