Indonesia, the insular Southeast Asia is known as the region where many megaliths remain as archaeological features while ethnological accounts on the living tradition of the megalithic culture are reported from this region. Heine Geldern hypothesized the two migration waves accompanying the megalithic culture complexes. The first movement is the Austronesian dispersal into the Southeast Asian archipelagoes from the southern China during the fifth millennium B.C. This migration brought the custom of head-hunting and feast of merit. The second migration is assumed to have been the migration of Dong-song culture bearing people from 1000 B.C. through A.D. 1000. Slab graves and stone sarcophagi were transmitted to Indonesia with the Bronze Age culture represented by bronze drum. Lebak Cibedug has been reported as an example of the megalithic culture belonging to the second migration wave. But the published document lack detailed description on this site and no academic research has conducted till recent. The research of this phase revealed that the construction of Lebak Cibedug was relatively recent. The people who constructed this megalithic feature are thought to have possessed their own unique world-view in spite of the influences from Hindu and Islam. It is also assumed that their subsistence activity was conducted according to their world-view. The historical relationship with the Baduy, now living in the northern region of the site, is considered. The world view of the people who obeyed in the swidden cultivation of rice, which is well preserved among the Baduy, is closely connected to the subsistence activity. The subsistence activity of swidden cultivation is traditional among the people of Sunda land. This form of subsistence put the supreme priority on its own maintenance. It is regarded that the thought of the swidden cultivator before the introduction of rice production by irrigation system is reflected in their world-view. The constructor of Lebak Cibedug is regarded to be the people who owned such a worldview. Several causes are assumed for the abandonment of Lebak Cibedug. The decrease of cultivated land by external pressure increased the population pressure over the capacity of subsistence system depending on swidden cultivation. It forced people to abandon the ancestor worship and to introduce the rice production by irrigation system. Another possibility is the lost of basis to maintain their sacred place because of the acceptance of Islam. In addition to Lebak Cibedug, Kosala, Pangguyangan are the representative sites which reflect the world-view of the swidden cultivator of rice in the mountainous region of southern Banten, namely the world-view of the indigenous people of the Sunda land, still remaining among the Baduy people.
