The archaeological complex of Sungai Batu revealed the evidences of early civilisation in Bujang Valley which have been excavated since 2009. Researchers have identified each of the site by four different functions. They are the ritual monument, iron smelting site, jetty and the jetty administration/ supporting structure. Although the discovery of Sungai Batu is significant, the sites condition in the ruins which causes most of the artefacts were broken in fragments and the sites can only be seen from limited viewpoint. In this regard, it is hard for the visitor to have complete understanding of the sites from these fragmented evidences. Thus, this study aims to explore the practice of digital technology in representing the archaeological interpretation based on four selected sites at Sungai Batu Archaeological Complex.
