Researchers reveal ancient housing site in Malang
An archeological dig conducted on the southern side of the Singhasari Temple in Bungkuk village, Malang, East Java, has uncovered an ancient residential complex.
The confirmation was announced to the public on Thursday by a team of researchers from the National Archeology Research and Development Center (Arkenas), in Jakarta, after excavating the site from July 22.
"We believe it was a residential complex from the Singosari Kingdom during the rule of King Kertanegara in the 13th Century," team leader Amelia said.
The team, which is scheduled to conduct the dig until July 31, has found the remains of rough and fine pottery, fine quality porcelain and ceramic wares, roofing materials and Chinese coins with holes in the middle, believed to have originated from the Sung Dynasty (between the 10th and 13th centuries).
