    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ScholarSpace at University of Hawai'i at Manoa Obsidian Sourcing at Ulilang Bundok Site and its Implications for Mobility, Exchange, and Social Contexts in the Philippine Metal Age STEPHEN CHIA, LEEE ANTHONY M. NERI, AND AMALIA DE LA TORRE introduction What is commonly known as the “Metal Age” of the Philippines and throughout Island Southeast Asia is viewed as a critical period of transition between small-scale Neolithic farming communities of the third millennium to early first millenniumb.c. and the historically recorded emergence of centralized polities with archaeological evidence for social complexity and trade networks involving exotic goods stretching into mainland Asia and beyond by the late first millenniuma.d. (Andrews and Glover 1986; Bronson 1992; Bulbeck 2007; Bulbeck and Prasetyo 2000; Lloyd-Smith and Cole 2010). Much of the archaeological work on this time period in the Philippines has focused on burial sites, including often spectacularly artistic jar burials (often with anthropomorphic features) and inhumation burials with regional stylistic embellish- ments ( Dizon 1979; Dizon and Santiago 1996; Dizon et al. 2011; Fox and Evange- lista 1957; Kurjack et al. 1971; Tenazas 1974). These varying types of elaborate burials are typically accompanied by elaborately embellished rare or exotic goods such as nephrite or jade ornaments, bronze ornaments and implements, and glass beads (al- most certainly traded from outside the archipelago), as well as highly decorated earth- enware forms, gold-leaf ornaments, iron objects, rare shells, polished stone adzes, and obsidian (which could have been either extracted and modified within the Philippine archipelago or obtained from long-distance sources).
