The local red brick industry in Trowulan is a potential source of danger to the archaeology of Trowulan.
Sejarah Majapahit Banyak yang Hilang karena Perindustrian
Detik.com, 05 May 2014
Article is in Bahasa Indonesia
Pemerintah dinilai lamban memberikan pemahaman ke masyarakat terkait perlindungan dan pelestarian kawasan cagar budaya Majapahit di Trowulan, Mojokerto. Hal itu tampak besarnya aktivitas penggalian tanah untuk industri batu bata. Sehingga banyak peninggalan sejarah Majapahit yang hilang karena aktivitas industri ini.
Di wilayah Kecamatan Trowulan, setidaknya ratusan hektar tanah yang awalnya berupa lahan persawahan telah digali untuk industri bata merah. Ironisnya, industri ini telah berjalan sejak puluhan tahun lalu, jauh sebelum UU tentang cagar budaya dibuat oleh pemerintah.
Pakar arkeologi Universitas Indonesia (UI) yang juga tim ahli cagar budaya, Mundardjito, lapisan kebudayaan Majapahit terkubur dalam lapisan tanah sedalam 3 meter. Terdiri dari 3 lapisan kebudayaan. Yakni mulai dari lapisan paling dalam berturut-turut lapisan kebudayaan Majapahit awal, pertengahan dan kebudayaan Majapahit akhir.
