Résumé :From the 8th to the 10th century, Central Java was the epicenter of one of
Southeast Asia’s most powerful polity. The kingdom of Mataram has left us
magnificent vestiges, such as the Buddhist stūpa of Borobudur and the Hindu
temple of Prambanan. Yet, very little is known about the extent and organization of
its territory. While certain authors have presented it as a wide and centralized state,
other tend to think of Mataram as a loose mandala kingdom or even a theater-state.
I propose to scrutinize data from the inscriptions and confront it with results from
an extensive archaeological survey to draw a state of the art of the question.
