“…They argue that they were constructed following Cordillera populations moving to higher altitudes as a result of Spanish pressure, following contact in northern Luzon in A.D. 1572 (Dozier 1966; Keesing 1962;Lambrecht 1967). Recent archaeological studies support the short-history scenario in Ifugao Province, contending that expansion of terrace rice cultivation in this area post-dated Spanish arrival (Acabado 2009(Acabado , 2012a(Acabado , 2012b(Acabado , 2013(Acabado , 2017 (Fig. 1).…”

“…Scott (1958) considered that only wet rice was cultivated by the Ifugao and other high-altitude groups, and that dry rice could not be cultivated successfully at these altitudes. However, ethnographic studies of rice culture in Ifugao have demonstrated that Ifugao do practice dry swidden rice farming at high altitudes and have locally adapted heirloom varieties for those conditions (Acabado 2017;Acabado and Martin 2015;Barton 1955;Conklin et al 1980). The studies point out that this type of rice is considered food for poor people, and is not associated with ritual practice.…”

Pollen, phytolith, and starch analyses were carried out on 12 samples from two trenches in Old Kiyyangan Village, Ifugao Province, providing evidence for human activity from ca. 810-750 cal. B.P. Seed phytoliths and endosperm starch of cf. rice (Oryza sativa), coincident with aquatic Potamogeton pollen and sponge spicule remains, provide preliminary evidence for wet-field cultivation of rice at the site. The first rice remains appear ca. 675 cal. B.P. in terrace sediments. There is a marked increase in these remains after ca. 530-470 cal. B.P., supporting previous studies suggesting late expansion of the cultivation of wet-field rice in this area. The study represents initial, sediment-derived, ancient starch evidence for O. sativa, and initial, sediment-derived, ancient phytolith evidence for this species in the Philippines.

“…This paper has documented the process, purpose, and rationale behind the pilot project in Kiangan, Ifugao. Certainly, the modules will always need improvement as new archaeological information comes out of the OKV research or the school curriculum standards change (For current publications on Old Kiyyangan Village see Lapeña and Acabado 2017, Yakal 2017, Acabado 2018, Horrocks et al 2018and Acabado et al 2019.

“…These local programs mainly focus on promoting traditional customs and practices (i.e., rice harvesting and planting rituals, weaving, woodcarving, terrace walls and traditional house building, and cultural performances) or the occasional fieldtrips to the local museum. Recent archaeological studies (Acabado et al 2019, Lapeña and Acabado 2017, Acabado 2016, Yakal 2017, Lauer and Acabado 2015, Eusebio et al 2015 in Ifugao contribute to these revitalization programs to create a more encompassing background of Ifugao's past. Archaeology education, in effect, uses archaeological data, concepts, and activities to engage students in learning about history without having to leave their classrooms.…”

How can archaeology enhance public knowledge of local history in a community? This paper explored this question in an elementary-level social studies class in the town of Kiangan, Ifugao, Philippines, where archaeological excavations took place between 2012 and 2017. The authors present an example of the process of integrating archaeology in the classroom. As a form of public archaeology, “archaeology education” in this project utilized archaeological and Place-Based Learning concepts to develop archaeology modules that complemented classroom learning. This paper recounts the pilot project by providing details of the process of designing and developing the modules, the assessment, and the final product.Paano mapapahusay ng arkiyoloji ang pangkalahatang kaalaman ng lokal na kasaysayan sa isang pamayanan? Sinayasat ang tanong na ito sa isang pang-elementaryang antas ng Araling Panlipunan sa bayan ng Kiangan, Ifugao, kung saan naganap ang isang arkeolojikal na paghuhukay (taon 2012-2017). Ipapakita ng mga may-akda ang isang halimbawa ng proseso sa paglakip ng arkiyoloji sa pagtuturo ng Araling Panlipunan. Bilang isang uri ng “public archaeology” o pangkalahatang arkiyoloji, ang “archaeology education” na proyektong ito ay gumamit ng mga konseptong arkeolojikal at “Place-based Learning” para mabuo ang mga arkeolojikal na modyul na makakatulong sa pagturo ng Araling Panlipunan. Isasalaysay din ng papel ang proyekto sa pamamagitan ng pagbibigay ng detalyeng proseso ng pagdidisenyo at pagkakabuo ng mga arkiyolojikal na modyul, ang mga obserbasyon, at ang pangwakas na resulta ng proyekto.

The Philippine native pig (PhNP) is a unique genetic resource composed of multiple domesticated Sus scrofa lineages and interspecific hybrids. No prior study has determined the population structure and genetic diversity of PhNPs on multiple islands and provinces, which is essential for establishing conservation priorities. In this study, we explore the population structure and genetic diversity of various PhNP populations in Luzon and the Visayas, Philippines, to identify conservation priorities. We analyzed seven PhNP populations (n = 20–27 samples each; Benguet [B], Kalinga [K], Nueva Vizcaya [N], Isabela [I], Quezon [Q], Marinduque [M], and Samar [S]) and four transboundary breeds present in the Philippines (n = 9–11 samples each; Duroc, Large White, Landrace, and Berkshire). The pigs were compared against a panel of 20 microsatellite markers recommended by the ISAG–FAO. We tested for population structure at the island, region, and province levels. Strong genetic differentiation between native and transboundary breeds was confirmed by Bayesian clustering (k = 2) and Nei's DA genetic distance (100% bootstrap support for the PhNP cluster). PhNP exhibited high heterozygosity (Ho: 0.737), a high allele count (Na: 7.771), and a low inbreeding coefficient (Fis: −0.040–0.125). Bayesian clustering supported genetic differentiation at the island (k = 2; North Luzon and South Luzon‐Visayas cluster), region (k = 3), and population (k = 8) levels. The pairwise F'st between PhNP populations ranged from 0.084 (N and I) to 0.397 (Q and K), confirming that some PhNP populations exhibited sufficient genetic distance to be considered separate populations. This study shows that native pigs from B, K, I, Q, M, and S are unique genetic units for conservation. Furthermore, the small effective population sizes of B, I, Q, M, and S (Ne: 3.9, 19.1, 14.2, 44.7, and 22.5, respectively) necessitate immediate conservation actions, such as incentivizing PhNP farming.
