Structures, Features and Stratigraphies of the Kota Cina Excavations
At a few metres above sea level, the Kota Cina archaeological site reveals a minimal surface area of some 25 hectares. Sixty-nine trenches covering 482.1 m2 with a total volume of excavated soil amounting to 464.3 m3 were excavated between 2011 and 2016. The data are presented according to the types of contexts: remains of brick structures; wood remains in the northern part of the site (truncated posts and wood scatters); dozens of holes interpre…
The Ongoing Sungai Jaong Archaeological Project (2018‐2024), Sarawak, Malaysia: Preliminary Results
More than fifty years after the last excavations undertaken in the coastal area of the Sarawak River Delta, new archaeological excavations in the region started in 2019, through a cooperation between the École française dʼExtrême-Orient and the Sarawak Museum Department. This article offers the preliminary results of researches conducted at the Sungai Jaong site, in the Santubong area, until late 2023. Despite a very limited excavated surface are…
Earthenware from Kota Cina: A Typology
As regards quantity (149,000 sherds) and weight (1,400 kg), earthenware sherds represent respectively 74 percent and 67.5 percent of the category “fired clay objects (unglazed or glazed)” collected during the surveys and excavations carried out at Kota Cina between 2011 and 2016. They fall into three major categories. Coarse pottery, modeled and shaped with a paddle and/or from coils, constitutes the overwhelming majority (74 percent of the sherd…

La cinquième édition de SEAMEO-SPAFA International Conference on Southeast Asian Archaeology and Fine Arts s’est déroulée à Bangkok (hôtel Amari) du 10 au 12 juin 2024. Cette première conférence SEAMEO-SPAFA en présentiel suite à la pandémie Covid-19 a réuni environ 350 participants venus de trente pays. Cette édition a été différente des précédentes dans la mesure où elle n’était pas limitée à l’archéologie de l’Asie du Sud-Est, mais ouverte éga…
Kota Cina: Spatial Evolution of Ancient Occupation
This study of the spatial evolution of the ancient occupation rests on the premiss that a division into nine land strips from north to south, each being some 100 metres wide, may be especially relevant for the purpose of the interpretation. The statistical approach is based on 45 trenches for which precise dating brackets (max. of two centuries) of the stoneware and porcelain shards are available. They have yielded 32,226 shards, representing mor…
Kota Cina: Society and External Relations (Late Eleventh–Early Fourteenth Centuries CE)
This contribution is a synthesis essay about Kota Cina history between late eleventh and early fourteenth century CE. It relies on the various results of the recent and earlier excavations undertaken at Kota Cina, on the reappraisal of a corpus of Buddhist and Hindu images previously uncovered there, on the recent rediscovery of the Bulu Cina site, on recent archaeological researches conducted on the east coast of the South Sumatra, as well as s…
The Ongoing Sungai Jaong Archaeological Project (2018‐2024), Sarawak, Malaysia: Preliminary Results
Glazed Earthenware and Terracotta from Kota Cina
This section brings together the fragments of glazed earthenware not produced in China, as well as fragments of terracotta objects not included in the earthenware section, all recovered during surveys and excavations at Kota Cina between 2011 and 2016. The glazed earthenware corpus includes 23 shards coming from a kendi, a jarlet and bowls manufactured in the Middle East. The most common type is the sgraffiato ware. The terracotta corpus includes…
Lithic Material from Kota Cina
Four types of artefacts recovered during surveys and excavations conducted at Kota Cina between 2011 and 2016 are discussed in this section. Twenty-one artefacts are hard stone beads, including 19 cornelian beads and two beads made of unidentified stones. The corpus includes also four gemstones. The function of nine small stone finds is impossible to determine with certainty due to their fragmented nature. Apart from a mould and a spindle whorl, …
Glassware from Kota Cina
The Kota Cina 2011–2016 excavations yielded a little more than 1,000 shards of glassware in eight of the nine sectors. However, the mean density per cubic metre reveals an uneven distribution. Body shards are by far the most numerous, accounting for three quarters of the total, while undecorated free-blown glassware is vastly predominant (92% of the whole corpus). Among the 75 decorated shards, the most numerous (48%) are wheel-cut or engraved s…
Metal Finds from Kota Cina
The corpus of metal recovered during the excavations at Kota Cina, generally fragmentary and in very bad state of preservation, is relatively abundant and made of various materials. Iron finds are largely predominant with 398 whole or fragmentary items recorded, including almost 200 ancient-looking whole (or fragmentary) nails, dowels, blades (almost 80 ancient-looking iron blades, tenons and handles), tools and containers. In addition, the excav…
Worked Organic Finds, Fruits and Seeds from Kota Cina
The subsection “Worked wood” deals with a corpus of 89 pieces, including mostly wedging stakes, stakes, wedges, sticks, dowelled planks, dowels, and probably boat timbers. Besides, most of the 80 fragments of braided cords, made of sugar palm fibres, are characterised by a variable number (one to eleven) of braided strands, each strand being composed of a number of fibres. These fragments display various types of knots. An other corpus of 24 rema…
Late Nineteenth to Early Twentieth Century Finds from Kota Cina
Excavations carried out at Kota Cina between 2011 and 2016 have yielded very few finds dated between the middle of the fourteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. The only notable exception comes from a pit revealed in trench KC63 (sector E), which yielded an abundant material thought to represent a single assemblage. Thirty pieces of porcelain and stoneware, some complete or almost complete, are described in this contribution…
Archaeological Investigations at Sungai Jaong (2018, 2019, 2022), Sarawak, Malaysia: First Observations and Reflections
Introduction The ancient history of the northern coast of the Borneo Island remains largely unknown, especially for the period spanning the middle of the first to the middle of the second millennium CE. Two core areas have particularly attracted the attention of historians, archaeologists and epigraphists since the 1950s. The first core area is the present Sultanate of Brunei, about which research has focused in particular on the analysis of Chin…
Images de Sindanglaya et ses environs au XIXe siècle
L’artiste-peintre Marius Perret, qui a fait l’objet d’une contribution dans le précédent numéro de cette revue, nous a laissé plusieurs aquarelles de Sindanglaya et de ses environs. Sa contribution artistique est l’occasion de revenir sur la place particulière qu’occupe cette région de l’ouest de Java dans les récits de voyages et l’histoire iconographique de l’Archipel au XIXe siècle. Les témoignages de cette époque sont principalement alimentés…
B. The Sultanate of Patani: Sixteenth-Seventeenth Centuries Domestic Issues
Most of foreign accounts dating back to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries related to Patani primarily inform about the situation and opportunities of long distance trade in the city, and secondly about the local and regional political contexts. As such, they offer a different view on the kingdom compared to indigenous sources. However, these foreign sources also reveal information about the sultanate society and its organization. In this ch…

The tree species affected by this pathology belong to the genus Aquilaria, the chief source being A. malaccensis (Burkhill 1993: 198-206).

La cité royale dans la littérature traditionnelle malaise: Représentation et contribution à l'histoire des cités anciennes du monde malais
Due to poverty of written sources and lack of interest shown by the archaeologists until recent years, the urban history of the Malay world before the 19th c., particularly before the 16th c., is still in an embryonic stage compared with other regions. This article try to show that, despite their shortage, local written sources such as the traditional Malay literature cannot be neglected to approach some aspects of the urban history such as the r…
