in squared kilometers Iban political organization was decentralized, with autonomous villages dominating the scene (see below). Reliable estimates of the territory typically covered by such a quasi-polity are very had to make. This is in part due to the practice of swidden cultivation and the persistence of uncultivated land in between inhabited communities. We therefore cannot provide a reliable proxy measure. | |

It is seems very likely that Pirak was once part of a larger assemblage of culturally similar settlements, but, perhaps due to the erosive effects of nearby rivers, only Pirak remains [Jarrige_Enault 1976, pp. 45-46] Of course it's difficult to say whether these hypothetical settlements were part of the same polity as Pirak. | |
