via Antara News, 02 June 2022: The brick structure unearthed in Palembang is thought to be part of an 18th century palace.
Research Center for Prehistoric Archeology and History of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) team discovered ancient brick structures in the excavated soil in the Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II museum area, Palembang, South Sumatra.
BRIN archaeologist Retno Purwanti stated here on Thursday that the ancient brick structure was discovered through observations made by a team of archaeologists from all four sides of the excavation to make the foundation for the installation of billboard piles on Wednesday, behind the Ganesha Statue, at the Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II Museum in Palembang.
The observation was made after a team of archaeologists earlier received a report from the Palembang Culture Service that had found fragments of presumably ancient bricks that were between 7-12 centimeters long, 6-7 centimeters wide, and four centimeters thick at that location.
