INTRODUCTION
There is a saying from a novelist Milan Kandera "If you want to destroy a nation then destroy its culture (Wibowo et al., 2023).Indonesia consists of islands and there are hundreds of ethnic groups, so of course it will have a diverse culture and history so it needs to be maintained and preserved (Rosniati et al., 2021).Talking about tomb culture, Indonesia has thousands of relics so it needs recognition and preservation efforts, so that it is not forgotten by the younger generation and not cut off from their ancestors (Ashari, 2013;Nur, 2018).Evidence on the ground that teenagers have now forgotten the local culture and are not tempted to follow it anymore worries historians and cultural experts (Aditia, 2011;Nahak, 2019).
The Banjar people in the Kotabaru Regency area of South Kalimantan have historical and cultural roots since the past and become part and source of local values that are still alive today such as the haul tradition around the tomb of the king of Sigam (Abidin &;Satriadi, 2023;Adini et al., 2023).This research aims to map the history of the ornamental variety of the tomb of the king of Sigam so that these results can be a data collection for the cultural office and tourism office so that it can become a tourist attraction with the theme of cultural tourism.Vrikati, 2020;Nizam, 2018).

METHOD
This research uses the historical method, which is a set of systematic rules in an effort to collect historical sources, critically assess and then present them in a synthesis.In the historical method there are four steps of research namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation and historiography (Atmojo, 2002).In this study, using an archaeological approach, especially on the explanation of dated artifacts obtained from tomb and nonstructural structures so as to help the chronology of life and development of society in the past (Satria, 2021).

The Shape of the Tomb of King Sigam Pulau Laut
A tomb will be seen as a relic of an important person so that it will be decorated on the tomb so that it attracts attention (Ramadan & Ramadan, 2019).
The Sigam tomb complex has three cupola buildings, each of which contains more than one tombstone.This tomb complex has tourism potential based on cultural history.The potential of cultural history-based tourism is one of the assets that has the potential to be developed by each region.This is not only related to the importance of being able to spur regional revenue, but also the urgency of regional economic development.The underlying argument is because the chain of tourism in Kotabaru Regency tends to be very complex and each region has different characteristics so that this is its own uniqueness that distinguishes it from other regions.
Therefore, regions that are able to develop tourism potential, including cultural historical tourism, will benefit from tourism.
Village is one of the villages in the North Sea Island District which has an important value in the series of history in Kotabaru.This area became the center of the Sea Island Kingdom which flourished in 1850 (Akhmad et al., 2018).The first king to rule was Pangeran Jaya Sumitra who still had kinship ties with the king of Banjar.Prince Jaya Sumitra moved the center of the kingdom from Kusan to Salino to avoid capture by the Dutch who at that time were fighting against the Banjar Kingdom.The security factor in Salino, which was considered inadequate, caused the center of the kingdom to be moved again to Sigam Village, North Sea Island (Mansyur &; Effendi, 2023).Sigam was then built as the center of government by Prince Jaya Sumitra entitled King of Pulau Laut I. Sigam became an important location in the historical development of the Islamic kingdom in Kotabaru.Sigam Village can be classified as a coastal village with most of its area being estuary land.Most of Sigam is at an altitude of 25-100 m above sea level (Mansyur &; Effendi, 2023).Archaeological surveys conducted in Sigam Village found relics including the tomb complex of the kings of Pulau Laut, Bukit Kemuning, and the ancient tomb complex Sekukup.
