Titre : Towards an Archaeology of Religion in Ancient Java: The Ritual Deposits from Candi Kimpulan

Date : le Mardi, 27 Mars 2018, à 15h. 
Lieu : 7F, Conference Room, Hsiu-Chi Building, Guangfu Campus, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan  

Résumé :
On December the 11th 2009, a small temple was unearthed on the construction
site of the new library of the Universitas Islam Negeri in Yogyakarta. Within the temple, several stone boxes and more than fifteen bronze pots containing a variety of small objects (glass beads, gold foil etc.) were found. These are remnants of an ancient Hindu ritual, known from Indian texts but rarely found in situ. We will examine the Kimpulan discovery and try to understand how far it fits with textual descriptions and what it might actually tell about Hinduism in ancient Java.
