ABSTRACT The physical remains and extensive historical documentation of fortified settlements across a large swathe of southern Maluku has gone unnoticed by scholars. On the basis of historical accounts and images, I have constructed a detailed picture of the ‘southern Maluku village fortification pattern’ which was once typical of settlements in the region. Using evidence from language, I show that stone building was an indigenous tradition in the southeastern corner of Indonesia which subsequently was extended to stone fortifications around villages, which spread across southern Maluku. I suggest that the fortification of settlements was triggered here in the first half of 17th century by a climate of fear arising from the 1621 Banda massacre perpetuated by the Dutch.

摘要 学者们没有注意到马鲁古南部大片地区强化定居点的物理遗迹和广泛的历史文献。在历史记载和图像的基础上，我详细描绘了曾经是该地区典型聚居地的“南马鲁古村寨格局”。使用语言证据，我表明石头建筑是印度尼西亚东南角的土著传统，随后扩展到村庄周围的石头防御工事，这些防御工事遍布马鲁古南部。我认为，在 17 世纪上半叶，由于荷兰人延续的 1621 年班达大屠杀引起的恐惧气氛引发了定居点的防御工事。
