| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The research has revealed that the varieties of stone statues and sculptures are found in the heritages of Jambi and Palembang in southern Sumatra. From these heritages it is probable that the capital of Srivijaya was placed around Jumbi in southern Sumatra after the seventh century. Although the exact whereabouts are unknown, the capital could be the place called Malayu.The records of Buddhism ritual implements and statues have also been excavated in the heritages of Muara Takus in the central Sumatera.Combined with further textual analysis, these findings suggest the practice of Buddhism, particularly early Tantric Buddhism from central to southern Sumatera.Furthermore the guilt bronze statues excavated from Jumbi seem to have the styles of Pala in India or Dvaravati culture from the Malay Peninsula. The fact that the works in northern Sumatra seem to have influence from southern India tells that the cultures both India and Malay Peninsula were transmitted and coexisted in Sumatera.
