History of Padang Lawas I The Site of Si Pamutung
For the last century and a half, the name of Padang Lawas, in the present province of North Sumatra, Indonesia, has been associated with a number of isolated Hindu-Buddhist remains located in the middle of the island. These remains are all the more remarkable because they form the largest Indianized archaeological complex yet to be seen in the northern half of Sumatra.
This book is the lastest contribution to the accumulation of knowledge on the ancient history of Padang Lawas. The fifteen studies brought together here present the main results of the archaeological research programme conducted from 2006 until 2010 by the Ecole francaise for Archaeological Research. This programme was focused on one of the sites known in this religion, namely Si Pamutung, presently located near the confluence of the Barumun and Batang Pane Rivers.
These contributions are devoted firstly to the directly visible features of Si Pamutung, namely its environmental setting and its Hindu-Buddhist remains made of brick and stone.
