Abstract:
Benat Hilir is an archaeological site situated near a village called Kampung Benat in the middle reaches of the Sadong River, Samarahan, Sarawak (Fig.1). The first field survey at this site was carried out by a research team from the archaeology section of the Sarawak Museum Department in the 1970s. A trial excavation was conducted after the area had been identified as a potential site for archaeological research (Nyandoh 1971). However, the excavation team was unable to excavate the potential area because it was situated in a rice field which was ready for harvest. Subsequently, the team excavated an area near the river bank and found only a few ceramic sherds, mostly stonewares.
