Description
Summary:There were many Archaeological artifacts found in Indonesia. The remains are from prehistoric, classic and Islam periods. One of the classic artifacts is lumpang alu stone presented in many forms and often presumed as lingga-yoni. This paper aims to interpret the function and the meaning of Batu Pabeasan in Desa Cibiru Wetan Kabupaten Bandung and its correlation to lingga-yoni. Through archaeological survey and iconographical analysis and historical approach it is found that Batu Pabeasan did not show the details seen as a religious artifact (ideofact) as lingga-yoni but more opt to economic tools (technofact) presented through its name. This may be related to people who experienced agricultural activities, within the meanings of hopes and fertility.
