Water and rice in early Java and
The management of water has deep historical roots in island Southeast Asia. The oldest manifestation of agricultural water management in the maritime region appears to have taken the form of modification of natural swamps. The earliest solid and detailed information concerning Javanese and Balinese rice-growing regimes is that found in historical sources. The most important of these sources are the several hundred surviving Old-Javanese and Old-B…
Javanese Markets and the Asian Sea Trade Boom of the Tenth to Thirteenth Centuries A.D
Between the early tenth and the mid-thirteenth centuries, a boom occurred in the trade linking the seas of maritime Southeast Asia to the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. The impact that this growth in trade had upon the Javanese domestic economy was profound. The expansion of the Chinese market, in particular, for the produce of Java and its archipelago trading network led to changes in Javanese agricultural practices, patterns of domestic …
The Medieval Tamil-language Inscriptions in Southeast Asia and China
Early inscriptions written in Indian languages and scripts abound in Southeast Asia. Literacy in the very early states of Southeast Asia — aside from the portion of north Vietnam annexed by China — began with the importing, by local rulers, of modified cults of Buddhism or Hinduism, and the attendant adoption of Sanskrit or Pali language for the writing of religious texts. Later, in the seventh century, a broader range of texts began to appear on…
Money and its Uses in the Javanese States of the Ninth to Fifteenth Centuries A.D
Coins appeared relatively late in the history of maritime Southeast Asia. No indigenous coins have so far been dated to before the very end of the eighth or the beginning of the ninth century A.D. These early gold and silver (or silver alloy) coins, which seem to be unique to the region, have so far been found on the Malay peninsula, on the Indonesian islands of Sumatra, Java and Bali, and in the Philippines. The prototypes for these coins were a…
State formation in early maritime Southeast Asia; A consideration of the theories and the data
L'etude des periodes de la fin de la prehistoire et du debut de la protohistoire sur la formation des Etats maritimes de l'Asie du Sud-Est a partir des travaux et theories anterieures montre (1) que le detroit de Malacca et les ports du sud de la mer de Java sont les deux premieres regions a avoir connu un Etat, (2) que la deuxieme periode du processus de formation de l'Etat s'est deroulee entre 200 av. J.-C. et 300 apr. J.-C. lors des changement…
Trade and value in pre‐Majapahit Java
States without Cities
Java's place in the demographic literature is an interesting one. If one accepts the census figures produced at Raffles' behest, then it appears that the population of the island in 1815 stood at approximately 4.5 million. In 1900 it was close to 30 million. This apparent explosion in population, in the absence of any substantial net immigration, has been the focus of a good deal of comment for decades, drawing attention from other, potentially m…
