| Summary: | This article focuses on the later history and archaeological heritage of the
Malay Johor-Riau-Lingga Sultanate from the 16th to the 19th century CE
(Current Era). During this time period, a lot of archaeological research has
been done especially by researchers both local and abroad. Some of the areas
that will be touched upon in this paper includes Kota Sayong Pinang, Batu
Sawar, Kota Seluyut, Kampung Makam, Kota Panchor and Kota Johor Lama.
The whole area in question includes the upper reaches of Johor River and
streaches down until the lower areas of the Johor River. The supporting evidence
for this discussion includes a textual study of several Malay texts (such as Sejarah
Melayu, Sejarah Negeri Johor, and Sejarah Petempatan di Sepanjang Sungai
Johor) and the archaeological record. This research shows that a lot of the
material historical and archaeological evidence is represented by the remains
of old forts such as found at Kota Johor Lama, Kota Sayong Pinang, Kota Batu
Sawar, Kota Seluyut, the burial sites of the royalty and ruling class, the discovery
of gold dinar coins, various weaponary and an overwhelming abudance of
ceramics (mostly broken). As much as 211 tombstones of the Aceh style has
been identified in the state of Johor. The oldest Acheh tombstone in Johor is
dated 1453 CE (or 857 Hijrah according to the Islamic calender) and the finding
of ceramics that has been dated between 11 and 14 century CE strongly suggests
that there was an earlier kingdom prior to the apperance of the Malay Johor-
Riau-Lingga Sultanate. Among the earlier ceramics found include Chinese Song
ceramics from the 11 to 13 century CE, Thai ceramics such as Sawankhalok
and Sukhothai from the 13 to 15 century CE, Khmer ceramics from the 13
century CE dan Vietnamese ceramics from the 15 century CE. Even so, most of
the archaeological evidence along the Johor River has been destroyed as a
result of age, current development projects and also the various conflicts during
the time of the kingdoms in question |
