The National Archaeology Research Institute (Indonesian: Pusat Penelitian Arkeologi Nasional, Puslit Arkenas) was a research center coordinated under the Agency of Education Standards, Curriculum, and Assessments (formerly Agency of Research and Development) of Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. The research center was one of the oldest state research institution in Indonesia which had been operated since early of 20th century.

The agency is liquidated to the National Research and Innovation Agency and replaced as part of BRIN state research activity integration plan.[1][2] It is announced on 24 January 2022 that on 1 February 2022 the institute will be amalgamated with various agencies to the newly formed Archaeology, Language, and Letters Research Organization.[3]

History

Puslit Arkenas foundation can be traced back to early 20th century commission Commissie in Nederlandsch Indie voor Oudheidkundige Onderzoek op Java en Madoera which was founded by Dutch East Indies colonial government on 18 May 1901 thru Gouvernement Besluit No. 4. The commission led by Dr. Jan Laurens Andries Brandes [id] and tasked for cataloging and researching discovered archaeological findings and traditional architectures scattered in Java and Madura islands.[4] 12 years later, the commission replaced by the Oudheidkundige Dienst in Nederlandsch-Indie on 14 June 1913 Gouvernement Besluit No. 62.[5] The Dienst (Service Agency) later become the embryo of the current Puslit Arkenas. The foundation date of the Dienst later celebrated as Hari Purbakala Nasional (English: National Prehistoric Day).[6]

After the issue of Presidential Decree No. 62/2021 on formation of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, the agency is ordered by Joko Widodo to be relinquished to National Research and Innovation Agency after the agency separation in April 2021.[7] Minister of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, thru the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology Decree No. 28/2021 also confirmed the relinquishment of the institute to the BRIN. For the separation process from the ministry, the institute was moved to the Agency of Education Standards, Curriculum, and Assessments temporary supervision for administration process until the separation process finalized.[8] On 18 November 2021, the separation was confirmed by Puslit Arkenas in the farewell event held by the Puslit Arkenas.[9]
