ALOR SETAR: Work to complete the archaeological data on the Kedah Tua civilisation in Sungai Batu has run into a snag from a combination of the Covid-19 pandemic and a lack of funds.
Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Global Archaeology Research Centre director Prof Datuk Dr Mohd Mokhtar Saidin said the Covid-19 pandemic has slowed down excavations at Sungai Batu sites and other Lembah Bujang areas since March last year.
