    The pre-literate period is also called the prehistoric period, namely a time when humans did not know writing about indonesia history. The existence of human life in Indonesia in prehistoric times can be identified based on remains in the form of fossils (petrified remains of living things) and artifacts (petrified human remains). An example of several artifacts is Kjokkemoddinger or kitchen waste, which is a pile of shells that mounts or forms a hill. Then also Abris sous roche or shelter under the reef is a place to live used by early humans. At that time to communicate and convey messages to others, you could meet directly, through other people, or use symbols. The Indonesian nation ended the pre-literate period around the 4th century AD. Prehistoric times based on archeology are divided into stone ages and metal ages.

    Based on the findings of the tools used and the method of processing, the stone age is divided into four about indonesia history, namely the Palaeolithic old stone age, the Mesolithic middle stone age, the Neolithic young stone age, and the Megalithic great stone age.

    

    The old stone age lasted around 600,000 years BC. about indonesia history In the Middle Stone Age, the tools for supporting human life were still rough, but efforts were made to refine the tools. Life at that time began to develop. Humans are familiar with the system of society and are no longer in groups. The residence has settled in a cave no longer moving around. Even already know how to grow crops and how the division of tasks in social.

    Life in that era human life has developed about indonesia history. No longer dependent on hunting, but have developed ways of farming, raising livestock. The equipment used is better refined and sharpened, and accompanied by other equipment such as pottery or woven cloth. For a place to live settled by making a house of wood, bamboo, or leaves.

    The great stone age of life has developed and been better about indonesia history. At that time, not only tools were produced, but also rituals or ceremonies. Buildings produced during the great stone age such as: Menhirs, large stone monuments to worship the spirits of the ancestors. Dolmen, a stone table that has stone legs made of menhirs. Dolmens are used to place offerings or to be used for graves or burial caskets. Stone Graves, in the form of stone pieces arranged like a coffin for burial. A sarcophagus, a coffin made of monolith which is considered to have the power of Waruga, is a stone coffin that is cube or round in shape. In developing the level of human thinking to move around not only using materials from stone for tools of life but also from metal, such as bronze and iron.

    The metal age is divided into three ages about indonesia history, namely the copper age, the bronze age, and the iron age.

    The Indonesian Archipelago about indonesia history as it exists today was formed at the time of melting ice after the end of the Ice Age, about 10,000 years ago.

    The first settlers entered about indonesia history. The first evidence that shows the early inhabitants are the Homo erectus fossils of the Java man from 2 million to 500,000 years ago. The discovery of the remains of "Flores man" (Homo floresiensis) in Liang Bua, Flores, opens up the possibility that H. erectus survived until the last Ice Age.

    The first Homo sapiens are thought to have entered the archipelago 100,000 years ago via the Asian coastal route from West Asia about indonesia history, and around 60,000 to 70,000 years ago had reached New Guinea and Australia. They, with the phenotype of dark skin and tightly curly hair, became the ancestors of present-day Melanesians (including Papuans) and brought the oblong ax culture (Paleolithic). Waves of Austronesian-speaking immigrants with a Neolithic culture came in waves from 3000 BC from South China through Formosa and the Philippines bringing the square pickaxe culture (Dongson culture). 

    The arrival of this wave of population about indonesia history with Mongoloid characteristics tended to head west, pushing the initial population eastward or intermarrying with the local population and became a physical characteristic of the population of Maluku and Nusa Tenggara. These immigrants brought with them agricultural techniques, including cultivating rice in paddy fields (the evidence dates back to the 8th century BC at the latest), buffalo raising, bronze and iron processing, technique of weaving, megalithic practices, and worship of spirits ( animism) and sacred objects (dynamism). In the first century BC, settlements and small kingdoms had been formed, and it is very possible that religious influences from India had entered due to trade relations.
