“…This type of decoration is a typical decoration present on earthenware sherds from prehistoric archaeological sites as well as on traditional pottery made by the native contemporary societies in Sarawak (Zuraina, 1982; Datan, 1993;Chia & Datan, 2003;Velat, 2010;Nicholas, 2011;Narayanen & Chia, 2014). These decorations of earthenware are produced using wooden beaters with speci c patterns, such as checkers, cord marks, and parallel stripes (Morrison, 1955;Chin, 1985;Narayanen, 2017). The increases in ndings are most likely in uenced by the increasing importance of the site or an increase in the number of populations.…”

The primary purpose of this research is to collect data and save the archaeological context (material culture) in-situ before being disturbed by conservation activities and upgrading the site of Kubu Emma, Kanowit, Sarawak. This research applied a systematic and multidisciplinary method to obtain maximum data to solve the issue of historical chronology and archaeological context to strengthen further the culture that took place when this site since the reign of Rajah Brooke. The approach applied at this site is divided into three main stages, namely i) geophysical (GPR) and archaeological fieldwork and ii) laboratory analysis, and iii) data interpretation. In general, the results of the GPR survey show three soil layers: the L2 layer at a depth of 0.3–0.4 meters and the L3 layer at 1.0-1.2 meters. Determination of the building's foundation structure has shown that it is at a depth of no more than 0.6 meters deep. Excavations carried out in section A have revealed in-situ artifacts from spit six to spit 15 (50–60 cm), while in section B, artifacts were found at spit four and continued until spit 14. Among the archaeological context, evidence found are porcelain shards, stoneware shards, metal objects, glass shards, earthenware shards, and others.

“…The twin-fish washer is a small shallow bowl form extensively documented on the subject of tradeware ceramics (Addis, 1969;Southeast Asian Ceramic Society, 1979;Chin, 1988;Qingzheng, 2002;Melendres, 2008). Unique styles and production technologies in ceramics can be attributed to specific kilns and time periods (cf.…”

The small washer forms with the twin fish motif arriving in the Philippines were largely attributed to the said date range (Addis, 1969;Southeast Asian Ceramic Society, 1979;Chin, 1988;Melendrez, 2008).…”

The growth of Lonquan kiln export to the archipelago coincided with the transition of the Song Dynasty capital from the north to the south.…”

The Calumat Open Site (COS) is in the Municipality of Alubijid, Province of Misamis Oriental, Philippines. The site, situated on top of a hill, was considered the first settlement of the people in Alubijid. The 2019 archaeological excavation conducted by the University of the Philippines – Archaeological Studies Program addressed the chronology of the site’s antiquity. Relative dating indicated that the area may have been occupied as early as the Neolithic period (ca. 3000 BC) until the coming of the European Recollect missionary in 1622. One of the interesting archaeological finds was the discovery of the human burial in Trench 2. Grave goods (celadon bowl, metal blade and worked shell artifact) were found associated with the burial along with dental modification. These grave furniture or “pabaon” were thought to accompany the deceased into the afterlife and ensure the safety of their spiritual journey. In this study, collagen samples were extracted from the bones, found in the burial, by gelatinization. Bones were subjected to radiocarbon dating using accelerator mass spectroscopy. The result suggested that burial may be dated between 774 and 1030 AD with reference to the relative dating of the funerary goods and dental modification, which are significant in interpreting and understanding the socioeconomic activities in the first millennium AD. The findings from the COS contribute to the knowledge of the archaeology of the island of Mindanao and the archipelago in general.

“…Most archaeological specimens come from mortuary contexts or, more recently, shipwreck excavations (e.g., Loviny 1996;Quimpo 1982;); many others have been acquired from local families who had sometimes owned the vessels for centuries. In Indonesia, they are referred to as pesaka or heirloom jars (Chin 1988;Harrison 1986), a term also applied by Valdes et al (1992) to the Philippines. In both areas, these vessels were-and in some contexts continue to beimportant objects of wealth and social prestige.…”

This paper presents a multifaceted study of a collection of stoneware ceramic vessels in the Guthe Collection of the Museum of Anthropology, University of Michigan. These vessels, recovered in the Philippines but manufactured in multiple production sites across East and Southeast Asia, provide insights into premodern economic interactions and maritime trade. Our study of this collection drew on multiple approaches to identify coherent groupings of vessels associated with locations and traditions of production. These include instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) of pastes; laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) of glazes; stylistic analysis of decorative motifs and their execution; and study of morphological attributes. Results of our analyses point to at least four production areas for these ubiquitous trade wares and lay the groundwork for future research on Southeast Asian maritime trade from the twelfth through nineteenth centuries A.D.
