| Abstract: |
The article explores the underexploited archaeological potential of Sumatra during the Classical period, emphasizing the importance of systematic surveys conducted by the Indonesian National Research Centre for Archaeology. It highlights the need for comprehensive data collection to reconstruct the island's early political, economic, and social frameworks. The author advocates for a broader focus on highland regions, such as the Pasemah highlands, to unravel the historical complexities of Sumatran societies.
