The antiquity of iron in Indonesia is similar to the antiquity of bronze and gold (Table 1), which has convinced scholars to recognize a Bronze- Iron Age (Van Heekeren, 1958), Paleometallic Period (Soegondho, 1995), or Early Metal Age (Bellwood, 2017).

The Indo-Pacific warm pool houses the largest zone of deep atmospheric convection on Earth and plays a critical role in global climate variations. Despite the region’s importance, changes in Indo-Pacific hydroclimate on orbital timescales remain poorly constrained.

The Indonesian region results from the evolution and convergence of the Eurasian continental plate, the Pacific oceanic plate, and the Indian Ocean-Australian Plate (Hamilton, 1979). It is generally accepted that the physiographic setting of the Indonesian archipelago is dominated by two continental shelf regions: the Sunda
shelf area (or Sundaland) lies to the west, and the Sahul/Arafura shelf area to the east.
