Introduction

An ongoing scientific study to detect ancient ports and settlements on the western and southern coasts of Aceh is on the banks of the Indian ocean. The western and southern coastal regions of Aceh are a place that is always visited by European nations, an area that is preoccupied with the spice trade of plantation products during the period of Aceh Darussalam kingdom in the middle ages.

The 4-member team is Hive account@keuudeip as the lead researcher, Hive account@vannour as a photographer, and two research assistants Hive account@safar01 and Hive account@abelpasai. The present study is a preliminary survey to detect the potential to determine the point in subsequent research.

Narratives and scientific studies are done by Hive account@keuudeip, while I only upload photos to the public, especially on Facebook Group MAPESA ( Hive account@mapesa ) "MASYARAKAT PEDULI SEJARAH ACEH (Aceh Historical Concern Society)". Hive account@mapesa as a sponsor requires the expedition team to publish all photographs, data and information and that are found in the field to the general public through social media. All photographs in the course of scientific research sponsored by Hive account@mapesa are free license for the benefit of science.

The expedition trip to the west and south coast of Aceh has ended for 9 days (13-21 August 2017), and the team has returned safely to Banda Aceh. This trip is named #EspspedisiMuhammadGhauts.
