Abstract

Around 70 megalithic sites were found on Mount Slamet, distributed within 5 regencies, that is 20 sites in Purbalingga, 11 sites in Pemalang, 15 sites in Tegal, 5 sites in Brebes, and 19 sites in Banyumas district. In general, the megalithic sites on Mount Slamet consisted of monuments intentionally erected for religion. Those sites reflected the religious activities carried out in the past. The quantity as well as distribution of the sites show that the megalithic culture in Mount Slamet was supported by a large member of the community within a wide range of space. However, the social system of the community itself is not clear yet whether it consisted of a single communal social system or several sub-social systems formed as a group. This paper attempts to find the relationship between the site's distributional pattern and the social organization system of the megalithic society on Mount Slamet. Spatial and activity system analysis will be used to disclose the distributional pattern which will also show the distribution of the supporting community. The variability of distance among the sites will show the variability of accessibility that influenced the interaction intensity. Activity distributional patterns will show whether it is part of a culture system or a part of a culture sub-system. Specific analysis will be applied to the megalithic monuments to reconstruct whether they belonged to an assemblage or a sub-assemblage.
