摘要

Trade activities in the Southeast Asian region are thought to have begun before the first century AD, with the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea being important trade routes. This view is supported by the discovery of several jetties and port sites, as well as hundreds of areas that reveal evidence of trading artefacts in Southeast Asia. Evidence of such trade activities can be classified through the discovery of jetty or port architectural structures built on the shores of the sea and rivers, which today are partially or completely deposited into the ground. Studies in Southeast Asia indicate that the most complete river jetty architecture from bricks was found in the Sungai Batu Archaeological Complex (SBAC), which has been used for trading activities since the sixth century BC.
