Abstract

Dorabata is a terrace-shaped site that has an important role in the history of the Dompu civilization. This study aims to analyze the utilization period of the Dorobata terraced terrace. Data were collected through excavations, interviews and literature studies, then analyzed by laboratory analysis and qualitative descriptive. Based on historical data and interviews with six key informants, it is known that this terraced terrace is a structure which is established based on a continuing megalithic tradition. Based on the concept of belief in ancestors and natural forces during the Ncuhi period (a tribal institution in Dompu), it is developed during the Majapahit influence in Dompu around 1357. When it is replaced by Islamic influence, this terraced terrace was used as the site of the first palace by the first sultan Dompu with the title Sultan Syamsudin, who was crowned in 1545. This palace is continued to be function in several changes to the sultanate throne in Dompu, until it was finally abandoned because of devastating eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815. Based on the results of the analysis of the findings of Chinese ceramic fragments from the Ming Dynasty, from the 14th/15th century. The relative dating is reinforced by the results of radiocarbon dating 14C of six charcoal samples, it is known that the Dorobata civilization ranged from the 11th-13th and 15th centuries to the early 17th century AD. This date leads to a meeting point, showing the end of Majapahit’s influence to the beginning of the Islamic period.
