Abstract

Being one of the best iron producers in the prehistoric world, Sungai Mas of Kedah Tua was an entrepot for various world civilisations including China, India and Arab through iron industry. With Muda River as the backbone of Kedah Tua’s trading, the river connects numerous iron smelting sites to the entrepot for supply. This study aims to locate a potential iron smelting site using 3D resistivity method at Kuala Ketil; a site situated along Muda River. Considering the location, geometry, size and resistivity values, the archaeological anomaly suggests a promising outcome.

吉打土铁冶炼工业:埋地炉的地球物理填图

作为史前世界最好的铁生产国之一，吉打都的双溪马是包括中国、印度和阿拉伯在内的世界各种文明的铁工业的转口港。木达河是吉打图亚贸易的支柱，这条河将众多的炼铁地点连接到供应的转口港。本研究的目的是利用三维电阻率法在吉隆坡Ketil定位一个潜在的铁冶炼场地;位于木达河沿岸的一个地点。考虑到位置、几何形状、大小和电阻率值，该考古异常显示了一个有希望的结果。

期刊介绍： Archaeologies: Journal of the World Archaeological Congress offers a venue for debates and topical issues, through peer-reviewed articles, reports and reviews. It emphasizes contributions that seek to recenter (or decenter) archaeology, and that challenge local and global power geometries. Areas of interest include ethics and archaeology; public archaeology; legacies of colonialism and nationalism within the discipline; the interplay of local and global archaeological traditions; theory and archaeology; the discipline’s involvement in projects of memory, identity, and restitution; and rights and ethics relating to cultural property, issues of acquisition, custodianship, conservation, and display. Recognizing the importance of non-Western epistemologies and intellectual traditions, the journal publishes some material in nonstandard format, including dialogues; annotated photographic essays; transcripts of public events; and statements from elders, custodians, descent groups and individuals.
