1Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional, Jakarta
Based on archaeological surveys and excavations in 2019 in Sese, near the Simboro Watershed in Mamuju Province, it is known that this area contains a number of Neolithic sites, including Gattungan, Demmapana, Koronganak, Talopi, and Kayu Colo. We will conduct archaeological survey and excavation on these open sites in order to improve understanding of the Neolithic in West Sulawesi.
Toalean subsistence in the cave of Leang Padaelo 3, Sulawesi Selatan, Indonesia.
Muhammad Saiful1
1Hasanuddin University, Makassar
This research will be conducted in Leang Padaelo 3 cave, located in Kabupaten Pangkajene dan Kepulauan (Pangkep), Sulawesi, on the northern coast of the Tonasa karst formation area. The target to be achieved in this study is to explain the subsistence of the inhabitants from excavated faunal data. The methods to be applied will be identification and analysis of fauna, using NISP, MNE, and MNI recording methods, butchering traces, contextual analysis, and radiocarbon dating. This research will allow comparisons to be made between the subsistence of Toalean populations in the northern and southern Pangkep coastal areas.
Rock art survey in the Liang Kabori karst region, Pulau Muna, Sulawesi, Indonesia.
Amaluddin Sope1, Lutfi Londri2
1Universitas Halu Oleo, Sulawesi Tenggara, Indonesia
2 Badan Riset dan Inovasi Nasional, Jakarta
At least 48 locations with rock art have been reported in the Liang Kabori karst area, Pulau Muna Island, Southeast Sulawesi, during surveys between 1977 and 2024. The art includes both figurative and non-figurative motifs, with human figures reported in 45 sites. However, little research has been done on variations in the way humans are depicted. We will use field observations, photogrammetry, and the DStretch plugin to improve the quality of photographic images of the human figure art.
The impact of Austronesian colonization on insular Wallacean populations: changes in mortuary practices, pathology and trauma at Kolana, Alor Island, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.
Pratiwi Yuwono1
1PhD candidate, Southern Cross University, Lismore, NSW, Australia
Colonization has historically been a process marked by the transfer of infectious diseases, which impacted indigenous populations whose immune systems were not adapted. Similarly, colonizers had to adjust to new environments, leading to changes in their health and diet. This research focuses on the impact of Austronesian expansion on the health, diet, and cultural practices of indigenous populations in Island Southeast Asia (ISEA) and the Pacific. However, the role of Wallacea, a region situated between ISEA and the Pacific, remains underexplored. This study investigates a population of 20 individuals excavated in 2023 in the Late Holocene cemetery site of Kolana, on Alor Island, exploring the interaction between indigenous and Austronesian populations. The project will investigate pathology and trauma, as well as the paleodemography of the Kolana community, and offer insights into how these Late Holocene populations navigated life in insular tropical island environments. This study will contribute valuable information to the broader understanding of health, mortuary practices, and survival strategies in the Asia-Pacific region.

Anthony F. Granucci
Anthony F. Granucci
The late Anthony F. Granucci, an attorney by profession, with a lifelong interest in archaeology, lived in Indonesia from 1972 to 1987. During his residence in Jakarta he developed a deep interest in Indonesian culture and in particular the prehistory of insular Southeast Asia, which he studied as an “informed observer”.
Upon retiring from the legal profession in 2003 for medical reasons, Anthony turned to the full time study of Archaeology and obtained a Master’s degree (with distinction) in Archaeology and Ancient History from the University of Leicester in England in 2004. His dissertation, entitled The Design Principles of Prehistoric Monumental Architecture in Java and Bali, examined the architectural design elements of terraced ceremonial structures (punden berundak). He also published a book on the art history of the Lesser Sunda Islands, entitled The Art of the Lesser Sundas (Editions Didier Millet, Singapore, 2005).
Long aware of the crucial lack of funding available for local researchers, Anthony established this fund to provide research grants to young Indonesian and Timorese archaeologists in the hope of encouraging the next generation of local archaeologists. He saw the creation of the fund as his best way to make a lasting contribution to the archaeology of the region.

Applying
Applications for the 2024 round have now closed.
Applications may be submitted in Indonesian or English. There is no official application form; please follow the instructions below.
Research grants will not exceed A$5000 per applicant. Please submit your application in the following format, up to three pages maximum of single-spaced text (not including the curriculum vitae):
1. Full name of applicant (and co-applicants if a joint application)
2. Institutional address
3. Gender and date of birth
4. Nationality
5. Title of project
6. Total amount requested (not over A$5000)
7. 200 word abstract of research proposal
8. Date of commencement and duration of project
9. Budget itemization in rupiahs, US$ (Timor-Leste), or A$. (NB: for successful applicants, following the completion of the research, it will be necessary to submit an acquittal of expenditure). The Granucci Fund cannot provide automatic per diem payments (“honoraria”, “lumpsum”) to applicants. However, it can provide daily wage payments to local assistants and field labour, as well as travel, food, and accommodation costs.
10. Describe your project in 2000 words or less. Describe your research question, aims and objectives, and the rationale for the investigation. Describe previous work on the topic, and explain how you will address it. If necessary, refer to existing literature and provide a list of references. Give precise details of the location(s) of your chosen fieldwork area(s). Provide a clear map, and give details of access to the chosen location. List also the necessary authorities in Indonesia or Timor Leste who will need to give permission for the research to proceed.
11. Regarding excavation, some deposits, especially in caves, have great depth and require multiple field seasons in order to enlarge the excavation area, provide timber reinforcement (if necessary), and make the excavation safe. Granucci can potentially fund successive excavation seasons at a single site, provided that the research results from each season demonstrate that it is merited.
12. Please note: The Granucci Fund does not encourage “test-pitting” of previously undisturbed archaeological deposits, especially in caves. We prefer that funds be applied to activities such as radiocarbon dating and other forms of laboratory analysis within existing projects, or used to support long term archaeological projects that will produce results of significance for understanding Indonesian prehistory. The selection panel will pay close attention to these factors when they consider applications.
13. Add your curriculum vitae, which should include a list of degrees awarded, publications, and previous research projects. Do not exceed 3 pages for the curriculum vitae.
14. When you have compiled the application, please submit it to Professor Peter Bellwood at peter.bellwood@anu.edu.au.
At the completion of each project, a report detailing the results of the research should be sent to the funding committee. The Granucci Fund will not consider further applications if this reporting requirement is not met.
The Granucci Fund also has an agreement with the AMS Radiocarbon Laboratory at the Australian National University for the analysis of C14 samples. These cost A$350 each for charcoal and shell, and A$475 each for bone. The funds to pay for these samples are deducted from Granucci awards and retained in ANU before the awards commence. Awardees will be asked to make decisions about their desired numbers of C14 samples in their award letters. We suggest 3 samples as a reasonable estimate for projects that involve excavation.
Awardees may also send dating samples to other laboratories, in which case the requested funding will be sent to them with the rest of the grant.
Currenly, this panel consists of Peter Bellwood, Sofia Samper Carro, Sue O’Connor, and Philip Piper.

Anthony F. Granucci
Anthony F. Granucci
Alm. Anthony F. Granucci, adalah seorang pengacara, yang sepanjang hidupnya selalu tertarik pada arkeologi, dan tinggal di Indonesia sejak 1972 sampai 1987. Selama ia tinggal di Jakarta ia sangat tertarik pada kebudayaan Indonesia, khususnya pada prasejarah Asia Tenggara kepulauan, yang dipelajarinya sebagai seorang “pengamat dan peminat”.
Ketika mundur dari profesi hukum pada tahun 2003 karena alasan kesehatan, Anthony beralih menjadi mahasiswa arkeologi dan memperoleh gelar Master (dengan pujian) dalam bidang Arkeologi dan Sejarah Kuno dari University of Leicester di Inggris pada tahun 2004. Disertasinya yang berjudul The Design Principles of Prehistoric Monumental Architecture in Java and Bali mengkaji unsur-unsur disain arsitektur punden berundak. Ia juga telah menyelesaikan sebuah buku mengenai sejarah seni kepulauan Nusa Tenggara yang berjudul The Art of the Lesser Sundas (Editions Didier Millet, Singapore, 2006).
Menyadari bahwa pendanaan yang dibutuhkan peneliti lokal sangat langka, Anthony mengupayakan pendanaan ini dengan menyediakan dana penelitian bagi para arkeolog muda Indonesia dan Timor Leste, dengan harapan untuk mendorong tumbuhnya generasi arkeolog lokal yang berikutnya. Ia menilai pembuatan pendanaan ini adalah usaha terbaiknya dalam menghasilkan kontribusi yang berkepanjangan terhadap ilmu arkeologi di Indonesia dan Timor Leste.
