    The Pefrablanca Flake Tools: An Unchanging Technol ogy? Arrrand Salvador B. Miiares- Abstract Three car.tes were excaoated in Pefiablanca, northeastern Luzon in 2003. These caaes yieldedflake toolsfrom earlierpreceramic contexts (c.25,000-3,s00 BP) andlater ceramic ones (c.3,500-1,980 BP). Technological and use-wear analysestnere conducted to test if there was any change in techniques of manufacture or use of the flake tools through time. The oldestflake assemblage in Callao caae (c.25,000 BP) reueals aprobableformallithic technology with apredominance of blade-likeflakes and two probable spear points. The Holocene assemblages indicate no significant changes in manufacturing techniques throughout therohole sequence,beingbasedon asimplehardhammer percussion technique. Use-wear analysis also indicated no significant change, withflakes being utilised onhard and soft contact materials. This paper presents a scenario in which hunter-gatherer populations Lraoe coexisted during the past 3,500 years with agricultural populations lioing on the Cagayan Valley alluaial soils.

[email protected] Eutay Volume 12, pp. 1,3-34 jares 14 Mi Introduction studies of prehistoric human adaptation and culture rely heavily on stone tools for background data. Their durable characteristic makes them one of the few cultural materials to survive the test of time. Knowledge of how a stone tool was manufactured, used, and discarded maybe useful to extrapolate past human behaviour. In 2003, I excavated three cave sites in Pefrablanca, Cagayan Province, Northeastern Philippines (Mijares 2005). The excavation is an attempt to understand the transition from Upper Paleolithic to Neolithic in Northem Luzon. The region contains a number of caves, most of which contain archaeological materials.

  • Behavioural Complexity and Modern Traits in the Philippine Upper Palaeolithic
    Behavioural Complexity and Modern Traits in the Philippine Upper Palaeolithic AlFred F. PAwlIk introduction The discussion of cultural, cognitive, and behavioral modernity has a long tradition in europe’s prehistoric archaeology ( Dibble 1989; Hahn 1986; Jelinek 1982; klein 1995, 1999; Mellars 1989a, 1989b). The appearance of specialized blade indus- tries, bone and antler tools, and especially figurative art, musical instruments, and personal ornaments are seen as significant indicators of the highly developed cultural and cognitive abilities of their makers (Clottes 2001; Conard 2003; Conard et al. 2004). The seemingly sudden appearance of expressive art and symbolism together with complex tool technologies in europe at around 40,000 years ago has been attributed to explosive cultural and cognitive advancement with the arrival of ana- tomically modern Homo sapiens ( Klein and Blake 2002; Mellars 1991; Mithen 1996). Whether this Upper Palaeolithic revolution in europe was due to social factors or genetic mutation, was related to changes in the ecosystem, or has a cultural expla- nation (such as competition with another human species, the Neanderthals) is still under debate ( Bar-Yossef 2002; Conard et al. 2004; d’errico 2003; Haidle 2006; McBrearty and Brooks 2000; Mellars 2005; Zilhão 2001). Yet, the “human revolu- tion” model is used to explain the success of the Homo sapiens immigrants over the Neanderthals ( Bräuer and Smith 1992; Conard 2006, 2008; Mellars 2005). On the other hand, potential indicators of an earlier and gradually developing cul- tural and cognitive modernity have been seen in African assemblages. The appearance of some modern cognitive traits (e.g., production of projectile points, shell-fishing, personal ornaments, notational or incised pieces, and pigment processing) in Africa has been dated back to the Middle Pleistocene, earlier than the first evidence of ana- tomically modern hominids 200,000 years ago (Henshilwood et al.

  • Report on Ananalysis of Spindle Whorl from Callao Cave, Pefiablanca, Northern Luzon Philippines
    Report on anAnalysis of Spindle Whorl from Callao Cave, Pefiablanca, Northern Luzon Philippines ludith Cameron and Armand Salaador Mijares Introduction The Callao limestone formation in Peflablanca, Cagayan Province, northern Luzon has been the subject of archaeological research since the 1970's (Figure l). ln 1976-77, archaeological exploration of caves sites in the area was conducted by the National Museum in search of Palaeolithic sites. The extensive explorations resulted in the identification of 43 caves and rockshelter containing archaeological materials on the surface floor (Ronquillo n.d., Ronquillo and Santiago te77). Since then a number of caves in the Callao limestone formation were excavated between '1976 and 1,982, and, 1999. The cave sites excavated in the southern section were the Rabel Cave, Laurente Cave, Alejandro Malanos Cave, and Pedro Pagulayan Cave (Henson1977, Ronquillo 1981). In the northern section were Arku Cave, Musang Cave, Lattu-Lattuc Cave, Callao Cave, and Minori Cave (Cuevas 1980, Dalupan 1981, Mijares 2002, Thiel 1980, 1990a, 1990b). Callao Cave, with an elevation of 85 meters (amsl) and a coordinate of 17" 42' North latitude and 121o 49' Eastlongitude, was excavated by the team of Cuevas (1980) from 1979 to 1980. Callao Cave is the biggest and longest cave in the area. A seven chambers cave, Callao has an elevation of 85 meters (amsl). It has length of 366 meters from the mouth to the back narrow chambers with a width of 14 to 35 Hukog Volume 9, pp. F13 6 Cameron and Mijares meters. The height of the cave ceiling varies from 10 to 45 meter.

  • 2 the Expediency of Andesite Flake Tools
    THE EXPEDIENCY OF ANDESITE FLAKE TOOLS - Armand Salvador B. Mijares ABSTRACT The predominance of a simple lithic technology in Southeast Asia during the Late Pleistocene until Early Holocene Periods has long evoked the interest of archaeologists. Two plausible hypotheses have been presented. The first involves the availability in Southeast Asia of wooden materials such as bamboo, which can easily be shaped into tools. The second concerns the predominance of coarse–grained raw materials (e.g., andesite), which are difficult to shape into formal tools. In order to test these hypotheses a two-stage approach was undertaken. An experimental study using andesite and chert flakes on bamboo, rattan and meat was conducted to identify probable microwear traces. The second stage involved microwear analysis of prehistoric andesite flakes from Minori Cave (Luzon). The experimental study showed that microwear analysis could be conducted on andesite flake tools. Microwear analysis showed that some of the prehistoric andesite flakes were in fact used on hard contact materials, possibly bamboo. Introduction The Southeast Asian stone tool tradition can be generally categorized as an expedient technology, namely tools made to perform tasks immediately at hand. “Expediency refers to minimized technological effort under conditions where time and place of use are highly predictable” (Nelson 1991:64). “Under such conditions one need only be concerned with design characteristics which facilitate a specific, known and immediate task; therefore, tool design may be quite specific or limited, in response to ‘short term’ considerations” (Binford 1983:283 emphasis in original). The reasons why a simple stone technology persisted in most of Southeast Asia with the exception of a few sites remain to be shown (Movius 1944, 1948).

SUPERVISORS : Claire Gaillard, Alfred Pawlik _______________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Tabon Cave yielded occupation layers spanning from the Upper Palaeolithic to the Neolithic. Our interest focused on the stone artefacts: What can they tell us about the activities that took place in the cave many thousands of years ago? To identify and understand the use damages on archaeological pieces, a series of experiments was conducted, adapted to the tropical environment and to the raw material of many of the artefacts from Tabon. The archaeological material analysis emphasizes the vegetal resources exploitation by prehistoric groups who stayed at Tabon Cave and a short-term use of the tools.

Notre intérêt s’est porté sur les outils lithiques : Que peuvent-ils nous révéler sur les activités qui ont eu lieu au sein de la grotte il y a des milliers d’années ? Afin d’identifier les traces d’utilisation sur les pièces archéologiques, une série d’expérimentations ont été réalisées, adaptées à l’environnement tropical et à la matière première des artéfacts.

Cover illustration: Excerpt from Romeyn de Hooghe, Hieroglyphica (Amsterdam, 1735). Private collection. The central figure, Reformed Faith, represents the ongoing development of the churches of the Reformation towards the original Christian simplicity. She acknowledges her dependence on divine grace, and receives God’s blessing in return. In her lap rests the hat of freedom, representing freedom of the conscience, while she tramples the papal regalia. Behind her De Hooghe etched modest ministers, elders and deacons, and in front of her venerable figures representing the Synod of Dordrecht and the States of Holland as the ultimate protectors of the faith and guarantors of the unity of the Church.
