; Manikliyu, burial and Pejeng-type drum
In Manikliyu (west side of Bangli Regency),<ref>{{cite web |title= Manikliyu, map |website= openstreetmap |url= https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/2181534328 }}</ref> a burial site was excavated in 1997 and 1998 which revealed two large sarcophagi and a bronze kettle drum, representing a unique burial system thus far unknown in Indonesia.
The largest sarcophagus (length 206 cm, width 70 cm) is well preserved; the other sarcophagus (length 172 cm, width 69 cm) is partly broken. The bronze kettle drum (height 120 cm, diameter of the tympanon 77 cm) is decorated with eight stars on the tympanon, and human masks on the body. It contained human bones in flexed position that belonged to a young man of Mongoloid type, between 20 and 35 years old; the broken part of his upper face shows that he was killed by the impact of a sharp tool.
The burial site also contained [[carnelian]]s, beads, bronze spirals and bronze finger protectors. Some remnants broken pottery and pottery shards were also found beside the burial site and near the containers.<ref name="subata1999">{{cite journal |last1= Sutaba |first1= I Made |date= 1999 |title= Discovery of Late Prehistoric Burial Systems in Bali |journal= SPAFA Journal |volume= 9 |issue= 1 |pages= 15-18 |url= https://www.spafajournal.org/index.php/spafa1991journal/article/download/305/298 |access-date= 2024-05-09 }}</ref>

The drum is very similar to the Pejeng type,<ref name="subata1999"/> the latter referring to the [[Moon of Pejeng]], largest single-cast bronze kettle drum known in the world, found in [[Pejeng]] (village east of Ubud, [[Gianyar Regency]]). A. Calo suggests that such kettle drums were associated with early rice cults - and cultivation - in Bali: most of them are found near sources of irrigation water (lakes, springs or weirs in rivers); their shape and decoration are reminded in modern representations of female deities associated with rice and irrigation water, the latter originating in a pre-Hindu culture and later integrated into the Hindu-Balinese panel of gods. Ritual ceremonies honouring these deities are still held to this day at places where irrigation water first enters fields (''bedugul'') and at crater lakes, the highest sources.<ref>{{cite web |author= Ambra Calo |date= October 2008 |title= Pejeng Type Bronze Drums and their Possible Role in Early Rice Cults in Bali |website= fas.nus.edu.sg |url= https://fass.nus.edu.sg/sea?s=Pejeng&domains=https%3A%2F%2Ffass.nus.edu.sg%2Fsea&sitesearch=https%3A%2F%2Ffass.nus.edu.sg%2Fsea |access-date= 2024-05-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090726093905/http://www.fas.nus.edu.sg/sea/sem%26conf/seminars%26conf_08.html |archive-date=26 July 2009 }}</ref>

The other sarcophagus signalled in 1973 was found by the villagers in Bunutin in 1971, buried nearly 1.5 m deep; its lid is absent and no associated artefacts were found.

History

Protohistory

[edit]
Manikliyu, burial and Pejeng-type drum

In Manikliyu (west side of Bangli Regency),[11] a burial site was excavated in 1997 and 1998 which revealed two large sarcophagi and a bronze kettle drum, representing a unique burial system thus far unknown in Indonesia. The largest sarcophagus (length 206 cm, width 70 cm) is well preserved; the other sarcophagus (length 172 cm, width 69 cm) is partly broken. The bronze kettle drum (height 120 cm, diameter of the tympanon 77 cm) is decorated with eight stars on the tympanon, and human masks on the body. It contained human bones in flexed position that belonged to a young man of Mongoloid type, between 20 and 35 years old; the broken part of his upper face shows that he was killed by the impact of a sharp tool. The burial site also contained carnelians, beads, bronze spirals and bronze finger protectors. Some remnants broken pottery and pottery shards were also found beside the burial site and near the containers.[12]

The drum is very similar to the Pejeng type,[12] the latter referring to the Moon of Pejeng, largest single-cast bronze kettle drum known in the world, found in Pejeng (village east of Ubud, Gianyar Regency). A. Calo suggests that such kettle drums were associated with early rice cults - and cultivation - in Bali: most of them are found near sources of irrigation water (lakes, springs or weirs in rivers); their shape and decoration are reminded in modern representations of female deities associated with rice and irrigation water, the latter originating in a pre-Hindu culture and later integrated into the Hindu-Balinese panel of gods. Ritual ceremonies honouring these deities are still held to this day at places where irrigation water first enters fields (bedugul) and at crater lakes, the highest sources.[13]

Taman Bali and Bunutin, sarcophagi

At Taman Bali and Bunutin, two villages close to each other about 5 km south of Bangli,[14] five sarcophagi were known before 1973. Two more were signalled in 1973, one of which buried 3 m deep in a rice field with its lid lying nearly 1.5 m away and partly broken, and containing various bronze objects including a small shovel, a ring, arm and ankle-rings and a number of spirals different from any formely found in sarcophagi in Bali. The other sarcophagus signalled in 1973 was found by the villagers in Bunutin in 1971, buried nearly 1.5 m deep; its lid is absent and no associated artefacts were found. One of the five sarcophagi known before 1973 is kept in Gedong Arca Museum in Bedulu; as of 1974, the others were still in their place of discovery.[15]
