The Liyangan site is located in Liyangan, Purbosari, Ngadirejo , Temanggung, Central Java, Indonesia, was buried by material from the eruption of Mount Sindoro and reappeared due to sand mining activities in 2009. Based on the archaeological data found, the Liyangan Site has a very complex function with indications of traces of worship, settlement, and agriculture activities from a long period of time between 5th to 10th centuries AD. At the Liyangan Site, several buildings made of wood were found in a state of charcoal, whose remains can still be seen. The discovery of the remains of this building is very interesting if it is related to the function and character of the Liyangan Site which is very complex. The writing of this article aims to inform the aspects of the form and raw materials found in wooden buildings at the Liyangan Site. This study uses the archeoforestry method, which aims to reconstruct past life based on material remains with a forestry approach. Based on the analysis of data found in 2012, 2018, and 2020, it can be seen that the form of wooden buildings at the Liyangan Site consists of houses or residences, and rice barns, with raw materials derived from palm trees, bamboo, petung bamboo, puspa, jamuju, and pasang. The discovery of the remains of wooden buildings at the Liyangan Site provides information about the form of residences and rice barns during the Old Javanese period, as well as the reasons for choosing the use of wood as the construction of the building.

This research discusses the Umpungeng megalith complex, a historical proto-settlement in the highlands of Soppeng Regency, South Sulawesi. The importance of this megalith complex is the authenticity and completeness of its monuments, and still the use of a number of ritual mediums for the spiritual purposes of the community. The method used is the archaeological method as the main method, while textual analysis of ancient manuscripts becomes a secondary method. Similarly, interviews are also conducted to confirm artifactual information and ancient manuscript information. The results showed that Umpungeng is an important toponym of the Kingdom of Soppeng. The structure and pattern of Umpungeng settlements follow a topography whose location is uneven. Megaliths that serve as a cult medium are positioned in the middle while residential areas are scattered far apart, following the topography of the mountains. The contribution of this research is to provide an overview of the pattern of 14th-century settlement in the highlands of South Sulawesi.

North Bolaang Mongondow is one of the areas in North Sulawesi Province that has the potential for archaeological remains, especially those from the royal period. Historical data and oral traditions in the community contain information about the kingdoms that existed in this region in the past, namely the Bintauna Kingdom, Kaidipang Kingdom, and the Bolaang Itang Kingdom. Concerning strengthening the history of these kingdoms, it needs to be supported by relevant archaeological data. The archaeological method applied in the form of field data collection in the form of surveys and observations succeeded in identifying and mapping the distribution of archaeological sites related to the existence of the three kingdoms. These archaeological sites are scattered almost throughout the North Bolaang Mongondow area, in the form of ancient graves, king's palaces, old mosques, and former residential structures. Based on the results of analysis and interpretation, these sites verify the existence of the three kingdoms in Bolaang Mongondow. The distribution of the site covers coastal areas to inland and mountains. As for strengthening the chronological aspect, it is necessary to do a dating analysis on each of these sites.
