- Abstract
In the downstream part of the Musi River Basin, especially Palembang region, archaeological sites are found containing temple buildings. The problems that arise are a) how is the topography (height) of archaeological sites in Palembang, b) how are archaeological sites located in Palembang? c) What is the material for artifacts from archaeological sites in Palembang? The objectives to be achieved are a) knowing the topography of archaeological sites in Palembang region, b) descripted archaeology sites in Palembang region c) knowing the source of the temple building materials from the Palembang region. The method used is a description of the location of the archaeological sites by placing it on a map and a petrographic analysis of the temple material samples from the Palembang region. The results showed that the archaeological sites were spread over the floodplain, but the location of the temple was slightly higher than the surroundings so that it was avoided stagnant water and the location of the temple was at an altitude of 5 m to 30 m asl. These sites are Siguntang Hill, Karanganyar, Gedingsuro, Telaga Batu, Sultan Mansur and Talang Kerangga. The distribution of archaeological sites dates from the Holocene era and is in the Air Benakat formation. The results of petrographic analysis of the material samples of the temples of Gedingsuro, Bukit Siguntang, Sultan Mansur, and Talang Kerangga show that the content of claystone, tuff, sandstone, and biotic is thought to come from around the Palembang region.
