GEORGE TOWN: There could be links between the remains of the 5,710 year-old “Penang Woman” in Guar Kepah and the archaeological findings in Bujang Valley, Kedah.

Guar Kepah chief archaeologist Datuk Dr Mohd Mokhtar Saidin said although the Guar Kepah findings were neolithic, it could be the same people who settled down in the Bujang Valley after civilisation.
