Abstract

The southwestern coast of Kalimantan has a strategic position in world shipping traffic since the past. The voyage is an activity of various interests, ranging from trade, broadcasting culture to military expansion. This strategic position led to the emergence of important areas as transit ports to the royal capital in the past. The mention of location names such as Tanjungpura, Sukadana, Matan, Kendandangan, and Jelai in ancient inscriptions dating back to the 13th century AD is a sign that the southwestern coast of Kalimantan was important at that time. The research aims to provide an overview of trading activities in the past on the southwestern coast of Kalimantan. This study uses a historical and spatial archaeological approach with archaeological evidence, historical data and macro-spatial displays that show past trading activities on the southwestern coast of Kalimantan. Trading in the past on the southwestern coast of Kalimantan was greatly influenced by its strategic position. The busy shipping lanes in the Karimata Strait in the past were an important factor influencing exchange and trading activities in the region. Various commodities ranging from food, ceramics to jewelery are used as commodities in the region. Ports on the southwestern coast of Kalimantan are widely used as transit ports. In addition, commodities in the southwest Kalimantan region are commodities sought after by foreign traders.
