Abstract
The civilization of South Kedah (Malaysia) was closely linked, from the 5th to the 14th centuries A.D. to international sea trade
between several parts of Asia: China, the Middle East and India. Entrepôt ports arose, which were more or less controlled by the
Sumatran thalassocracy of Srivijaya. The archaeological remains consist, on the one hand, of large amounts of sherds of ceramic
(mostly Chinese), sherds of glass vessels from the Middle East, and beads, and, on the other hand, of the ruins of temples
