Abstract The highlands of Sumatra remain one of the most neglected regions of insular Southeast Asia in terms of history and archaeology. No comprehensive research program incorporating both a survey and excavations within a defined geographical or environmental zone has been carried out there since Van der Hoop (1932) conducted his study of the megaliths on the Pasemah plateau in the 1930s. Meanwhile, Van der Hoop’s investigations and several other archaeological research activities at places such as northwest Lampung (McKinnon 1993), Pasemah (Sukendar and Sukidjo 1983-84; Caldwell 1997; Kusumawati and Sukendar 2000), Kerinci (Laporan 1995a, 1996a), and the Minangkabau heartland (Miksic 1986, 1987, 2004) have placed special emphasis on the megalithic remains. As a result, the megaliths are by far the bestknown archaeological attraction of the Sumatran highlands.

[...]to search for intraand inter-regional cultural links by means of comparative studies based on material culture. According to oral histories, Renah Kemumu was established during the early twentieth century, when remnant populations from a number of earlier villages came together.8 A survey of the village territory conducted between 2001 and 2003 resulted in the documentation of 23 abandoned village sites. Besides the rim sherds 18 In order to trace possible human residues, soil samples from the fill of the jars were given for analysis to the archaeometric laboratory of the Free University of Berlin. 502 Dominik Bonatz, John David Neidel and Mai Lin Tjoa-Bonatz and parts of the body, which had fallen into it, very few fragments of other smaller wares were found. The megalithic complex of highland Jambi 511 liths are related to graves,34 proposed that they had been created around the beginning of the Christian era, following the diusionist theory of those days and assuming a direct link to China. Since the 1970s, however, the evolutionary theory, which posits similar development sequences on the basis of inuences from outside and which supports the early dates, has been widely questioned by Western scholars.35 As a result, the term megalithic itself has been problematized, at least in so far as it is considered to represent a certain stage of development and is treated as a homogeneous block of culture from a Western standpoint (Glover et al. 1979; Barbier 1998:23).
