Индонезия в целом заселена с древнейших времен. Ява среди других островов ранее других отличалась более высоким уровнем развития. Матарам — средневековое государство, существовавшее на территории современной Индонезии в 732—1043 годах, в центральной и восточной части острова Ява. Государство Матарам было основано феодалом — шиваитом Санджайей. В середине VIII века к власти в стране пришла буддийская династия Шайлендров. Середина и 2-я половина VIII века было временем расцвета храмового строительства. Раннее проникновение индуизма и буддизма, связи с Индией, оказали на культуру Явы большое влияние. Здесь до сих пор сохраняется много индуистских храмов. Среди археологических находок самыми древними являются мегалиты, много бронзовых изделий, орудий и украшений.
