This compilation should only be regarded as a 'chronological note' of whatever presentation I had given for an international audience. There are articles presented in conferences, and some others as contributions for publications. (In this case I do not inclued my contributions for publications that have not appeared yet). There are two among the articles that I originally wrote in English-as it appears now-but then had been translated and published in a different language. The first one is "The Sculptural Heritage of Indonesia : An Overview", which appeared in French· and the second one is "A Survey on The Culture of Indonesia", which appeared in German""

I would like to ask for the excuses of the reader for the redundancy that is found in some points in this compilation. Whole paragraphs are sometimes repeated. I could not help this, since the occasions that led me to write these articles oftentimes had the same issues to be addressed. I hope the readers would like to tolerate this inconveniencies.
