Abstract:
Preliminary site survey and limited evaluative investigations at Sungai Santubong in March 2006 confirmed the presence of extensive deposits of iron slag, with associated Chinese pottery, fragments of tuyeres and wasted stones. Also on the site were several apparent troughs of uncertain function cut into the tops of boulders. The work confirmed the high archaeological potential of the site for furnishing in situ evidence for the prehistoric iron working industry and possibly ritual and/or settlement activity. Re-evaluation of excavated materials from previous sites on the peninsula confirmed the presence of clay furnace wall fragments and tuyeres.
