JAKARTA - The Boyolali Regency Government together with Archeologist Yogyakarta conducted research on the discovery of the Gumuk Watu Serut website, an ancient object found in the rice field area of Tlawong Village, Sawit District.

"We have collaborated with Yogyakarta Archeologists to conduct research on the discovery of the site for the rescue and preservation of ancient objects in the Boyolali area," said Secretary of the Boyolali Disdikbud, Waskito Raharjo, in Tlawong Sawit Village, Boyolali, Friday, September 30.

Waskito said the rescue was carried out with archaeologists from Yogyakarta and invited a number of community leaders in Tlawong Village, Sawit District, Boyolali Regency.

The team of experts is measuring the location of the site and then at the corner given the next point, the excavation is estimated for the next two weeks.

Dwi Kurnia Sandy as Yogyakarta Archaeological Consultant said the measurements began on Thursday (29/9), then continued the excavation to find out the location of the site. In addition, this activity also wants to know a number of structures that have not been found.

"We have installed thread lines and a number of points to determine the number of structures. Until now, we do not know how many meters of area and the depth can only be known on the last day," he said as quoted by Antara.

He explained that until now, he could not confirm what religion the site was inherited from. However, when viewed from the type of site on the surface of the ancient object at that time, it leads to Hinduism.

"We actually can't conclude yet, but if we look at the surface of the site outside, it looks like it belongs to Hinduism. We have only found two sites surfaced," he said.

According to the Village Head of Tlawong Joko Tri Wijianto, residents are aware of the existence of sites in the rice fields that have existed for a long time. The site became a story derived from their ancestors.

His party then received information from the Boyolali Disdikbud that the site would be restored. Because this land has a property rights certificate (SHM), if excavation is going to be carried out, Disdikbud has coordinated with its land owner.
