“…Although in other parts of Island Southeast Asia, particularly at the sites of Sembiran and Pacung in Bali ca. 700 BCE–70 CE (Fenner et al, 2018), goats have been hypothesised to have arrived from India or Sri Lanka as part of wide-ranging maritime networks, in the Philippine case, goats were most likely introduced to the Philippines from China just after the 11th century CE. Indeed, their presence in the archaeological record coincides with increased occurrence of Chinese tradeware ceramics – for instance, in 12th–15th century deposits in the polity of Butuan in Mindanao (Bautista, 1990).…”

The tropical forests of the Philippine Archipelago are some of the most threatened in the 21st century. Among the most prominent threats are the introduction of new plant and animal species, as well as new forms of land management (e.g. plantations), that have accompanied industrial expansion. Such threats have a potentially long-term history and prehistory in the Philippines, not just as a consequence of Spanish colonial administration and land-use changes from the 16th century, but also in the context of pre-colonial introductions of rice agriculture and domesticated animals. However, the impacts of such arrivals on local Philippine societies and ecologies have remained relatively unexplored, especially in comparison to contemporary exchanges between Europe and the Neotropics. Here, we evaluate archaeological and historical evidence for the integration of novel plants, animals and economic strategies into local Philippine cultures and economies from 4000 years ago to the 19th century AD. This includes material culture, archaeozoological and archaeobotanical analysis, as well as archival references to pre- and post-colonial urban settlements, the evolution of land management and rural settlements across the Archipelago. We argue that prehistoric land-use changes, as well as the colonial introduction of crops and domesticated animals, represent a potentially interesting contrast to other tropical regions that came under Spanish imperial control between the 15th and 19th centuries. Nevertheless, to determine the full extent of their impacts on social organisation and Philippine landscapes more detailed, long-term multidisciplinary investigation is required.

“…The archaeological research at Vasino has clearly demonstrated that goats were present in Timor by the early to mid-fifteenth century AD (Fenner et al 2017). Zooarchaeological records of goat are scarce throughout Mainland and Island Southeast Asia, and the exact origins and timing for the introduction of the goat to Island Southeast Asia remains unresolved (Amano and Piper 2011).…”

“…Eighty-seven fragments of caprine bone were recovered from Vasino from the topsoil (G1) to the lowest levels in Square D Spit 6. Although the remains of sheep and goats are difficult to distinguish in the archaeological record, the domestic goat (Capra aegagrus hircus) is the only taxon to be introduced into Island Southeast Asia (discussed below) until very recently (Fenner et al 2017), and all the caprine remains from Vasino are considered to come from this taxon. Teeth were the most common goat remains recovered (37.9 per cent considering complete elements and 57.5 per cent including fragments).…”

Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and Island Melanesia -lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present.
