Kampung Pengkalan Pasir is one of the areas that have archeological sites associated with the prehistoric era where the remains of a temple built using laterite stone and brick have been found in this area. The study regarding the distribution of foreign ceramics in Kampung Pengkalan Pasir has not been done in detail where the Song Dynasty ceramic finds were only reported by Dorothy and Quaritch-Wales when they excavated Pengkalan Pasir Temple (Site 31). The discoveries of various types of foreign ceramics in Kampung Pengkalan Pasir has given a little insight into the chronology of the site of Kampung Pengkalan Pasir which is believed to have been active since the 13th century AD. Based on the report released by Sullivan, he suggested that the Pengkalan Pasir Temple is a Buddhist influence temple with the discovery of Buddhist bronze statues and lotus statues made of descriptive copper such as Avalokitesvara or the features of Goddess Tara are considered to solve the issue of the function of this temple. Analysis of the discovery of various types of ceramics in Kampung Baru shows that these ceramics originate from the identifiable times are T'ang-Song, Song, Song-Yuan, Song-Yuan-Ming, early Yuan-Ming and even Persians represent the century- 8 to 10 M. The most common types of ceramics are celadon and stone ware while whiteware, Qing-Pai and Persian ceramics are found in small quantities. This foreign ceramic analysis proves that the site of Kampung Pengkalan Pasir has been actively used since the 8th century AD and also indirectly shows that the site of Kampung Pengkalan Pasir serves as a jetty built along the Sungai Muda to accommodate the busy port of Kedah Tua entrepot [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
