Abstract

North Sulawesi is a land bridge that connects Austronesian culture and Sulawesi. This area is the home to megalithic sites, heritages of Austronesian-speaking people, found mostly in Minahasa. One of the artifacts is a tomb coffin or famously known as Waruga. It is an invaluable heritage and once functioned as a burial structure in Minahasa long time ago. The waruga is the prove of the Minahasan skills in expressing their activity particularly in burial activity. As the sufficient information on Waruga has not been enough, the research on Waruga is of importance. This article is the study on the characteristic and on the spread of waruga. The data was collected by using literary study from previous research while the site tabulation of the total number of waruga was based on administrative area and on the site map. This article is a potential source of knowledge on megalithic culture in Indonesia which serves as a national identity and a pride for next generations.
