Abstract: This is an account of an ethnographic study conducted in the region of Kebumen, south
central Java, in three periods totalling 15 months between 1979 and 1983. The principal
object of study is not the village but the market-place, and the author's goal is not to
describe a particular market-place but to refine previous models of peasant marketing
behaviour, in particular that of R. Cassady which has been drawn on by other
anthropologists including Clifford Geertz
