At Panembahan Hardjonagoro’s Selamatan (40 days after death)
I met Bapak Soeroso (Director of Peninggalan Purbakala (Archeology) Republik Indonesia) and my old friend Soedarmadji Damais whose father,Luis Charles-Damais, deciphered the inscriptions on the tombstones of the royal tombs in Trowulan for (the brilliant, enigmatic head of the Dutch colonial archeological survey), the two were very excited about the idea of a new research team in Trowulan.
