![Jese Leos](https://sanctuary.bookgemstone.com/author/evan-simmons.jpg)
Bali is a land of stunning natural beauty, rich culture, and fascinating history. It is also home to a wealth of archaeological treasures, from ancient temples to royal palaces. This guide will provide a brief to Balinese archaeology and help you explore some of the most important monuments.
The history of Balinese archaeology can be traced back to the 19th century, when European scholars began to study the island's ancient monuments. However, it was not until the 20th century that systematic archaeological research began in Bali.
One of the most important figures in Balinese archaeology was the Dutch scholar W.F. Stutterheim. Stutterheim conducted extensive research on the island's temples and other monuments, and his work laid the foundation for much of the archaeological research that has been carried out in Bali since then.
