- Abstract
Until recently, researches on the Megalithic Culture on Rampi Valley are still rarely done and published. This paper discusses results of survey and excavation carried out in 2014 by the National Research Center of Archaeology (now the Research Center for Prehistoric and Historic Archaeology) together with a team from the Cultural Heritage Conservation Office of Makassar (now the Cultural Advancement Office). The excavation around statues, dolmens, and earthenware burials at Timo’oni Site yielded quite significant data that highly contribute to the understanding of the history of habitation during the early metal period in the Indonesian Archipelago, particularly in Sulawesi, due to the discovery of old enough megalithic remains, which are at least ca. cal. AD 86.
