The historical site number 4

The historical site number 4 is far from the western defensive wall of the historical site number 1 about 236.50 meters. It is building pedestal looks like four rooms that constructed of laterite with rectangle floor in order, each room size at 3.90 meters wide, 6.65 meters length, apart from each other about 0.50 meters. Some part of floor is laterite and found the river gravel and compact sand which assumed that it probably be the foundation. In the north side of building found sandstone sculptural pedestal at the depth about 2.57 meters from the Assume Datum or about 1.96 meters from the soil surface under the human skeleton number 1 which is female skeleton. It can be defined age around 20 to 30 years old and facing head to the northwest. The excavator assumed that it possible to bury at the same time with the human skeleton number 1.

Because the burial direction is facing to the southeast as same and the belonging that buried with corpse or dedicated belonging is very similar and also put in the same position, such as bronze ware above the head or bronze ware looks like dipping bowl at knee, pottery at foot tip, spindle whorl and accessories, e.g. Agate Stones, Carnelian Stones, glass beads, shell bracelet, stone bracelet, bronze bracelet, etc. The neat condition of both grave are without the trail of infesting each other, especially the grave of human skeleton number 4 which situated below.

At present, there is an exhibition of this excavation grave by creating a covered building and putting a describe board to inform about archaeological information. The archaeological evidence that exhibited in the area of human skeleton have been preserved and strengthened. There are 2 skeletons that have been exhibited because another two skeletons hasn’t defined age and gender and also infested from soil animals. Therefore, it was brought up from the grave and taken to preserve at Bankao National Museum, Amphoe Mueang, Kanchanaburi Province. According to the discovered evidence, it can be concluded that Khwae Noi river basin area at the southern of Muang Singh rampart in the period before established Muang Singh and built Prasat Muang Singh, there was an original community which lived along river basin. The excavation area is particular area for tomb or burial because it has not found the obvious evidence of settlement. For the difference of soil layer, it doesn’t obviously see, the soil color almost same all over and was infested by plant and animal.
