Abstract
This study attempts to identify prehistoric pottery sources in order to
locate areas of prehistoric pottery production in Peninsular Malaysia. The
identification of pottery production areas can help resolve the issue of the
origins of the "Black Ware" from Bukit Tengku Lembu, which was said to have
had foreign origins.
The compositional approach, used here in pottery studies for the first
time in Malaysia, was combined with the traditional morphological approach
to study a total of ninety-seven pottery sherds. These samples were obtained
from the sites of Bukit Tengku Lembu, Kodiang, Gua Cha, the Lenggong cave
massifs, Gua Kecil, Gua Sagu, and Jenderam Hilir.
