VALUES-BASED HERITAGE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE KLANCENG SITE, JEMBER REGENCY
Keywords:
Klanceng Site, Values-Based Heritage Management, Cultural Resource Management, contextual preservation, megalithic remainsAbstract
The conservation of cultural heritage requires not only the protection of the physical remains of archaeological resources but also the preservation of their archaeological contexts and the diverse values associated with them. The Klanceng Site in Jember Regency, East Java, contains megalithic remains, including batu kenong and dolmens. Changes in land ownership have led to the relocation of several megalithic remains from the Klanceng Site to the Duplang Site, potentially diminishing the contextual value of these remains. This study aims to formulate a conservation strategy for the megalithic remains of the Klanceng Site based on a Values-Based Heritage Management approach integrated with Cultural Resource Management. The research employed direct observation and a literature review, with an analysis of the site's condition, archaeological context, heritage significance, conservation issues, threats, and conservation needs. The findings indicate that conservation efforts need to balance the physical protection of archaeological remains with the preservation of their archaeological contexts and heritage values. The proposed strategies include pre-relocation documentation, technical conservation, the protection and arrangement of archaeological remains, interpretation, digital documentation, scholarly publication, and collaborative management involving government authorities, academics, local communities, and heritage conservation institutions. This approach is expected to support the sustainable and participatory management of the megalithic remains from the Klanceng Site while maintaining their archaeological context and associated heritage values.
