ABSTRACT

Pulau Sawah (Sawah Island) is located in the Batang Hari Upstream River Si Junjung District, Dharmasraya Regency, West Sumatera Province. At this site archaeological remains were found in the form of 11 earthen mounds (Munggu) containing brick structures of various sizes. This study aims to describe Pulau Sawah as the oldest Buddhist site in the upper Batanghari area. The method used in this study is a qualitative method through survey techniques to observe literature findings and ground surface findings. From the existing findings, apart from the brick structure, pottery pots and small statues were also found. The findings indicate a chronological origin from the 8th-10th century AD. These relics indicate that this site dates back to the period before Adityawarman's 13-14th century AD and most likely dates from the era of the Old Malay Kingdom/Sriwijaya 8th-10th century AD. With these findings, it can be said that this site is the oldest Buddhist site in the upper Batanghari area.
