- Abstract
Selayar Islands Regency of South Sulawesi Province has 10.369 Km2 wide (including land and sea). It has a strategic location between the west and the east of the archipelago. It shows that the waters are a shipping lane now and back then. The evidence of shipping activities in the past was proved by ceramics found in some sites on the land. While some archaeological underwater sites are also found. Based on some research, both archaeological underwater surveys and literature study, six locations with archaeological findings are found. The archaeological finding is ceramics, coins, shipwrecks, bottle fragments, and anchors. The spreading of the archaeological sites is evidence that Selayar Waters was a shipping route in the past. The existence also becomes strong evidence as supporting information that has been reported in both written and oral history.
