Jacques Dumarçay Building techniques are determined by constraints due to the structure of the materials involved and independent of the architects' will. However, there is no strict borderline between the materials and some ways of assembling wood have been used with stones. On Java, wood has been the most frequently used material for a long time, but as the buildings have not survived, the relevant techniques can only be observed on their representations on the reliefs of the Borobudur (8th c.) and those of East Javanese temples (13th c. onwards). Stones used for erecting the Borobudur were collected in the surrounding rivers. Their cutting was much inspired by that of the stones used in Sri Lanka monuments. A second wave of Hinduization in the 9th c. brought about new building techniques, including that of double- facing walls. Bricks were often used during the Majapahit period. They were of bad quality, so that they had to be ground against each other in order to be closely adjusted. Inscriptions on Candi Sewu and Plaosan give an insight into the life of the worksites, in particular the retakings and the multiplication of small contractors
