via various sources, 06 July 2024: PT Semen Indonesia (SIG) received recognition for its efforts to conserve the Bulu Sipong IV rock art site in South Sulawesi. The company presented its developing Cultural Heritage Management Plan at the recent SPAFACON. This initiative, spurred by an assessment from the Norwegian Pension Fund, aims to ensure sustainable management of these ancient sites. Some important disclosures to note here, as I have some personal involvement in this story: SIG was a sponsor at the recent SPAFACON, and they asked me for a quote for this story. I am also part of the assessment team that led to them developing a management plan, and my comments should not be seen as an approval of their plan, which is still under development.
PT Semen Indonesia (SIG) garnered appreciation at the SPAFA International Conference on Southeast Asian Archaeology and Fine Arts (SPAFACON) 2024 for the conservation of archaeological and cultural heritage in Bulu Sipong IV, Pangkep, South Sulawesi.
According to a statement from SIG in Jakarta on Saturday, SPAFACON is an international forum for sharing and updating archaeological knowledge in Southeast Asia. The annual agenda took place on June 10-14, 2024, in Bangkok, Thailand.
“SIG is an example of a few companies that play an active role in the efforts to conserve archaeological sites,” Senior Specialist in Archaeology and Head of the Organizing Team of SPAFACON Noel Hidalgo Tan stated.
