Geohistory of the Makassar Spice Network from the 16th to 17th Century

Abstract: This article discusses the geohistory of the spice network of Makassar from the 16th to the 17th century. The modern world of eastern Indonesia, including Makassar, is thought to have begun after the arrival of foreigners. This needs to be re-examined, as the trade of the inland kingdoms played an important role in the development of the coastal kingdoms. Makassar's trade had contacts with Banda. For this reason, the author presents a geohistorical study of the natural formation of a spice trade network in the interior of South Sulawesi. The purpose of this study is to reveal the role of geography, topography, surrounding islands, marine systems, climate and munsom winds, both on the west coast of Sulawesi, the east coast of Sulawesi and the mountains, in the development of the spice network in Makassar. The method used in this study is the historical research method with a literature approach. As described by Kuntowijoyo, from the selection of topic, heuristics, verification, interpretation and historical writing. The literature review study has an important position in revealing the problem. The results show that the development of Makassar's spice network cannot be separated from the geographical conditions, topography, surrounding islands, marine systems, climate and Munsom winds. In addition, Makassar is located on the main sea route connecting a number of sea systems (Makassar Strait, Bone Bay, Flores Sea, Banda Sea and Java Sea).
