It outlines three sequential stages—Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic—centered primarily on Java and Sumatra while also considering more isolated island cultures with conservatively transmitted traditions. The work emphasizes excavation and surface finds, typologies of Mesolithic industries and Neolithic tools, and provides references and bibliographies, including an attempted chronology spanning Pleistocene and Holocene periods.","THE STONE AGE OF INDONESIA  \nVERHANDELINGEN  \nVAN HET KONINKLIJK INSTITUUT VOORTAAL-,LAND-EN VOLKENKUNDE  \nDEEL XXI  \nTHE STONE AGE OF INDONESIA  \nBY  \nH.R.VAN HEEKEREN  \nPREFACE  \nIndonesian prehistoric archaeology was only a little-known andrecently developed science in the days that Dr P.V.van Stein Callenfelstook the first tentative steps in this field of study,and ever since otherscholars walked in his steps and helped to advance our prehistoric know-ledge.  \nDr W.J.A.Willems,who was the first to introduce an entirely newscientific method of excavation,Dr A.N.J.Thomassen à Tuessink vander Hoop,who distinguished himself by field-work in Sumatra and lateras the Djakarta Museum's general oracle and Prof.Dr G.H.R.vonKoenigswald who enjoys a world-wide recognition owing to hisdiscoveries of a series of fossil human remains and palaeoliths and hispalaeontological studies,were my predecessors whom I feel it my pleasantduty to remember here because I learned so much from them.  \nAmong the foreign scholars who had a great part in the progressof prehistoric research I wish to mention in particular Prof.Dr RobertHeine Geldern,Paul and Fritz Sarasin and Prof.Dr Hallam L.MoviusJr.They all have largely contributed to the knowledge of prehistoricIndonesia,but the results of their studies and examinations are scatteredin numerous periodicals and scientific papers,which unfortunately arenot always easily obtained or are written in foreign languages not alwaysaccessible to all and one.  \nThe purpose of this study is to summarize all data concerning theknowledge of Indonesian prehistory,as derived from that which has beenpublished by others on this subject as well as from my own experiencesin this field.  \nThe subject-matter is divided into three consecutive stages:thePalaeolithic,Mesolithic and Neolithic.  \nThe theatre of the main cultural development has been,and still is,Java and Sumatra.Many islands,however,are situated at quite adistance from that centre of development;they are inhabited by peoplesliving in great isolation,who had their traditions handed down fromone generation to the next.In some cases these more or less static andconservative cultures are,at least in material and economical aspects,reminiscent of prehistoric civilizations.  \nSpecial thanks are due to the Director of the Wenner Gren Foun-dation ‘The Viking Fund’,New York,who provided me with grants-in-aid in 1951 and 1952.Thanks again are due to Mr.M.W.F.Tweedie,Director of the Raffles Museum &Library,Singapore and Mr.G.de  \nG.Sieveking,Curator of Museums,Perak,who both read and criticizedthe entire manuscript and offered many valuable suggestions.I am alsogreatly indebted to Prof.Hallam L.Movius Jr.,Harvard University,Cambridge,Mass.,U.S.A.,for his scientific help and his moral supportand friendship in those post-war days when I left the prisoner-of-warcamps in Siam and Japan and had to make a fresh start.  \nThough I cannot acknowledge all my literary debts,I do wish toexpress my thanks to the friends and relations who have given me theiraid:the Head of the Archaeological Service of Indonesia,Mr.Soekmonoand the Board of Directors of the Lembaga Kebudajaan Indonesia„Bataviaasch Genootschap van Kunsten en Wetenschappen”,Djakarta,for the many photographs I needed for this manuscript and to Mr.Basoeki for the illustrations and maps.  \nThis volume will before long be followed by a second volume dealingwith the Bronze-Iron Age of Indonesia.  \nH.R.VAN HEEKEREN.  \nDjakarta,January 1957  \nCONTENTS  \nPreface. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .V  \nContents. . ……………………………………………………………………………………………………VII  \nIntroduction . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1  \n1.
