Liang Bua is a limestone cave on the hill in Manggarai, Flores. Local people are very familiar with this cave because of their large size (length 50 meters, 40 meters width, and height 25 meters). Due to the large size of this cave once used as a place of worship and schools.
Liang Bua has been famous around the world after the discovery of an ancient human skull the size of short-called Homo floresiensis. Fosli was found at a depth of 6 meters.Frame size is only 430 cc brain (compared with a normal human being who has a brain size of 1400 cc). Archaeologists argue that the skull is derived from the 2 million-12 000 BC or in the Pleistocene era.
In addition, at a depth of 10.7 meters, the ancient animal bones were also found including Stegodon (ancient elephants), komodo dragons, turtles, and lizards.
Liang Bua cave is a prehistoric relics in Indonesia. This cave is one of many karst caves on the island of Flores, East Nusa Tenggara in Indonesia. The cave is located in the hamlet Rampasasa, Liangbua Village, District Ruteng, Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara Province.
In this cave was found fossils of Homo floresiensis, or Flores Man, which has a height of only about 100 cm and weighs 25 kg.Tengkorak humans, which lived 13,000 years ago, who lived with pygmy elephants and Komodo dragons.
In 2001 archaeological excavation has been carried out which is a collaboration between the National Archaeological Research Center with the University of New England, Australia.
Liang Bua cave became a place of history draw tourists to visit. To achieve this historical tourist area, at the start of the NTT provincial capital of Kupang, on a plane and takes about a half hour to the town of Ende on Flores Island.
Then, proceed to the city by public transport Ruteng a minibus to take about 4 hours.City of Ruteng, continues to Rampasasa, within 13 miles by using public transportation.After arriving in the region Rampasasa, you can Memucan inns and restaurants.


 
Liang Bua (meaning "cave / hole cool" in Manggarai) is one of many karst caves on the island of Flores, East Nusa Tenggara in Indonesia. The cave is located in the hamlet Rampasasa, Liangbua Village, District Ruteng, Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara Province. [1] and is the discovery of a human-like creature (hominin) recently named Homo floresiensis in 2001. [1]Geologically, the cave is formed endokars growing on limestone alternating with limestone pasiran. These limestone rocks are thought to originate from the middle Miocene period, or about 15 million years ago. This region in the province of Kars, Kars region, as elsewhere in Indonesia, also have specific characteristics that vary with other Kars region.Liang Bua and others host a regional caves have been explored in archeology since the 1930s. The findings of this period brought to Leiden, Netherlands. Excavation and research carried on by a team led HR van Heekeren in the 1950s, then continued by Th.Verhoeven, a Catholic priest. His team found, among others, the framework is very short (but not dwarf) in the Liang Toge, in addition to the bones in Liang Bua, Liang Momer, and others. [2] framework, this framework is H. sapiens. The next researcher who conducted the study there were AA Sukadana, physical anthropologist from the University of Airlangga, in the 1960's also found human remains, including the lower jaw, at Liang Bua. From the years 1978-1989, Prof.. R. Flag Soejono found among others in the Liang Bua femur. Skeletal remains from the beginning to the last period stored in Leiden, London, Yogyakarta, Jakarta, Surabaya, and Flores. Further research was stopped because there was no funding. New research continues after the existing cooperation between Arkenas Research Center (led Soejono RP) and the University of New England, Australia (led by Mike Morwood). [3]In September 2003 found a unique framework which was later identified as H.floresiensis. Along with early humans were also found stone tools known to have been used by Homo erectus (as found in Sangiran) and bone remains of Stegodon (ancient elephant) dwarf, giant lizards, and rats.
Wonogiri. Homo floresiensis (Flores humans) is about 100 centimeters tall weighing 25 pounds or around the waist is also a normal human being living in the cave region of Kars in East Nusa Tenggara. Precisely at Liang Cave is located on Flores Island Boa, located in the hamlet Rampasasa, Liang Bua Village, District Ruteng, Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT).
As presented in Panel Monitor Indonesia in Kars Kars Museum, Cave Liang Endokars Boa is a growing phenomenon in limestone alternating with limestone pasiran. This limestone is estimated to middle Miocene, or about 15 million years ago. This region in the province of Kars, Kars region, as elsewhere in Indonesia, also have specific characteristics that vary with other Kars region.
In 2001, co-operation and Development Research Center of Archaeology with the University of New England found the skeleton of modern man is half the waist. Scientists classify this human original modern human beings with anatomical abnormalities of the disease microcephalic. But in its development is believed to be Homo Floresensis who lived 100 thousand to 12 thousand years ago.
Flores was the discovery of human fossils makes the Liang Bua Cave is one of the important archaeological sites in the world. Human dwarf that has a body size of children is expected to live with pygmy elephants and giant lizards like the Komodo.These findings make the Liang Bua cave became famous, so many tourists visit, whether domestic or foreign.
As soon as the findings of human fossils dwarfs - like the legendary figures in the book Hobbit JRR Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings - in Liang Bua, Flores, East Nusa Tenggara, announced on Thursday (28/10) in a press conference in Sydney, Australia, instantly excited the scientific world. Layman gossip too. Especially when the television networks and news agencies put the world as one of the news of "great", then released by the mass media in different parts of the world, finding ancient human species, later named Homo floresiensis was also being discussed.
Knowledge of the life of the thousands of years ago at Liang Bua is not new. The archaeologists from the National Archaeological Research Center (Center Arkenas) since 1976 has been intensive research in the Liang Bua. By the late 1970s, the team headed by Prof. Dr. Raden Panji Soejono it even has to get the findings "spectacular" in the form of a human skull and skeleton of adult human body. Along with it also found ancient human graveyard, complete with the provision that his grave is still relatively intact. Also found a layer of a variety of cultural artifacts believed to be supporting the rest of their existence.
Only, when Indonesia was the archaeologists do not yet have adequate tools and the ability to make a conclusion that is quite thorough. It just says that the human race who lived there from at least about 10,000 years ago.
In the absence of costs, the study was halted. Subsequent years, until 1989, the research tends to be sporadic. "To do research in the Liang Bua takes considerable cost. With as many as 18 team members, when we had to take Dakota to Flores, after a stopover in Denpasar and Kupang. Not to mention the cost for other needs," said Soejono.
In the absence of funding, in 2001, came an offer of cooperation from Australia. Mike Morwood of the University of New England led the team from Australia, while RP Soejono act as team leader of the Center for Arkenas. After conducting a series of excavations, September 2003, the combined team managed to get a horrendous discovery: the hobbit from Liang Bua!
"Actually, this research has not fully ended. Kok, suddenly the results have been announced by Australia. Especially when it was announced without any accompanied by a researcher from Indonesia. I do not know where the ethics of research ethics and cooperation during this diagung- glorified in the world of science, "said Soejono.
However, what can I say. "It could not be separated because we do not have the funds and expert research and tools are adequate," he added.
He admitted that the conditions of scarcity becomes a dilemma for the world's archaeological research in Indonesia. As a result, so there is an offer of cooperation with overseas immediately accepted. In fact, it's not entirely beneficial cooperation, including in the context of research at Liang Bua. There are times when the results of research carried out of the country so most of the research results are in Australia and Indonesia did not get anything.
"SEARCH for human remains from Liang Bua dwarf actually started by Father Verhoeven in 1958," said Rokus Due Awe, power technicians at Research Center for Arkenas documentation. He took part in the excavations made since the beginning of the priest. (Reuters, October 30, 2004)
