THE SUMMER FIELD SCHOOL ARCHAEOLOGICAL EXCAVATION IN CALATAGAN: THE KAY DAING HILL SITE (IV-1997-R)

Abstract

Calatagan several years ago was the venue of the Field School in Archaeology under Robert B. Fox, and in 1997 was the venue of the University of the Philippines Archaeological Studies Program Summer Field School. With Calatagan's potential archaeological record, the gradually changing landscape and environment threatens the loss of part of our non-renewable cultural resource. This is a preliminary site report on the archaeological excavation in Calatagan of the Kay Daing Hill Site (IV-1997-R). The archaeological activity reveals significant archaeological finds that could substantiate interpretations of Calatagan pre-history.
