Early Singapore 1300s-1819: Evindece in Maps, Text and Artefacts
This volume brings together nine essays that explore Singapore’s pre-colonial history through a rich combination of maps, historical texts, and archaeological artefacts. It argues that the island, known as Temasek, was already an important regional port and trading hub centuries before Stamford Raffles arrived in 1819. Through excavation findings such as ceramics, coins, and glassware the authors reconstruct a cosmopolitan and economically sophisticated society. The book offers fresh perspectives on early Singapore’s role in regional maritime networks and enhances understanding of its long-neglected past.
