| Abstract: | The island of Bali fascinated cultural anthropologists for decades. The rich yet composed investment in performance ritual by the Balinese continues to unify and define their identity. In spite of the considerable time spent in attempting to know Balinese customs and sociopolitical organisation, less is understood about their ancient past and the importance of their economy. By carefully mapping and subsurface coring one sizable, present-day temple complex and associated rice paddy fields, a picture of an evolving political economy within a highly engineered environment is presented. |
