Abstract

Field methods in archaeology are always changings and incorporating new techniques. An approach for the Center for American Archaeology (CAA) is presented here to gain new ideas in conducting archaeological excavation and documentation. Based on this experience, I recommend the adoption into the Philippine archaeology system new documentation as well as material processing approaches.
