Canilao i Foreword Of the seven articles in this issue, four discuss the outcome of the excavations of the ruins of two stone houses in San Juan, Batangas, Philippines. These two adjoining sites were excavated during the University of the Philippines-Archaeological Studies Program’s annual field school from 2009 to 2011. Ena Angelica C. Luga discusses the construction methods of the second structure known as Structure B. The construction methods of Structure A written by Angelus Maria P. Sales was published in Hukay Volume 18. Melodina Sy Cruz analyses the glass shards from Structure B. Her study is a pioneering work on glass bottles from a historical period site. Cruz’s paper can be used as a reference for bottles found in same period sites. An important contribution made by Cruz’s paper is the identification of bottles based on the lips and seams. Andrea Natasha E. Kintanar investigates scratch marks on porcelain sherds recovered from Structure A. Same as Cruz’s paper on glass shards, Kintanar’s work is the first of its kind in the Philippines. She expands research on porcelains found in the Philippines by studying usewear, an area which earlier ceramicists overlooked. Kintanar’s arcticle is significant because it looks at activities which involved porcelains that may help us understand past lifestyles. Pauline A. Basilia’s work on buttons recovered from Structure A is another interesting article. Using Energy Dispersive X-ray, Basilia identified the buttons and concluded that some were sourced from France. Cruz’s and Basilia’s works can be used to understand trade and distribution of imported items during the late colonial period. Rhayan G. Melendres who participated in the Porac, Pampanga field school in 2002, writes on the significance of tradeware ceramics recovered from the site as time markers. He correlated the radiocarbon dates of the site with the dates of the foreign ceramics and found out that the latter are as good as the former in dating sites. Melendres’ study illustrates that Chinese and Southeast Asian ceramics from secured contexts in well-documented excavations can provide good dates. Rafael Dy-Liacco’s article on boat-shaped burial markers in Batanes and Catanauan demonstrates his interest in archaeoastronomy. Dy-Liacco interprets the boat-shaped burial markers as representations of ii an earlier world view shared by the Austronesians when the Milky Way was an integral part of that consciousness. Maria Sagrario R. Simbulan tackles a sensitive issue in her article on managing archaeological databases. She tries to reconcile the need for the public to access relevant data on archaeological sites and the same time the need for archaeologists to protect sites by concealing information. All seven articles are groundbreaking because they investigate good research topics and open new avenues for archaeological investigations such as new approaches and methods in artefact analyses. The topics discussed in this volume have not yet been studied before in the Philippine context. This shows the ingenuity of the writers, all graduate students, by looking at Philippine archaeology with fresh perspectives. Lastly, we thank the National University of Singapore for providing the two books reviewed in this volume. Grace Barretto-Tesoro Hukay Editor 1 Building in 19th Century Philippines Ena Angelica C. Luga1 Abstract Prominent structures in Philippine history include those constructed during the Spanish colonial period such as churches, fortifications, and “stone houses” or bahay na bato associated with the elite. The archaeological investigations of these structures have increased with the annual Field School of the University of the Philippines-Archaeological Studies Program (UP-ASP). This paper is an outcome of one such Field School conducted in 2011.The UP-ASP Field School 2011 conducted an archaeological investigation of a structure recorded as Structure B located in Barangay Pinagbayanan, San Juan, Batangas. This paper investigates the methods and materials used for the construction of Structure B and compares it with Structure A, an adjacent site previously excavated. Both structures were found to be bahay na bato. This paper sheds light on how building construction went about in 19th century Philippines based on archaeological evidence. It presents the different factors that influenced building construction, the peculiarities found in the construction of these structures, the challenges posed on the construction of a bahay na bato, and the mechanisms used to cope with these challenges in the 1800s. 1 Graduate Student, Archaeological Studies Program, University of the Philippines Email: [email protected] Huka y Volume 19, pp. 1-23 2 Luga Introduction The archaeological excavations of Spanish colonial structures such as domestic structures, fortifications, and churches in the Philippines have been increasing in frequency especially with the annual Field School by the University of the Philippines-Archaeological Studies Program (UP- ASP). In 2011, the UP-ASP Field School excavated ruins of a structure in Barangay Pinagbayanan, San Juan, Batangas (Figure 1). This structure, recorded as Structure B, was the second structure to be excavated in the area and was eventually identified as a bahay na bato based on archaeological evidences and local accounts. Structure A was previously excavated in 2009 and 2010 and found around 40m north of Structure B (Barretto-Tesoro et al. 2009; Sales 2013; UP-ASP 2010). Figure 1: Map of the Philippines showing the location of San Juan, Batangas on the left. On the right is the plan of Structures A and B in Barangay Pinagbayanan (Prepared by ACL Pineda after GoogleMaps 2014). During the excavation, several questions were raised regarding the structure, one of which was regarding the technology and methods used in its construction. The main objective of this research endeavour is to answer this particular question: what were the methods and technology used in the construction of Structure B? Building in 19th Century Philippines 3 To answer the aforementioned question, this study’s aims are: 1. To identify construction materials found in Structure B; 2. To identify the technology and methods of construction employed in Structure B; and 3. To compare the construction materials and methods in Structure B with Structure A . With increasing archaeological investigations of structures in the Philippines, this study will contribute to the literature on construction methods employed

NUMBER 1707 FEBRUARY 1 9, 1955 Notes on the Birds of Northern Melanesia. 31 Passeres BY ERNST MAYR The present paper continues the revisions of birds from northern Melanesia and is devoted to the Order Passeres. The literature on the birds of this area is excessively scattered, and one of the functions of this review paper is to provide bibliographic references to recent litera- ture of the various species, in order to make it more readily available to new students. Another object of this paper, as of the previous install- ments of this series, is to indicate intraspecific trends of geographic varia- tion in the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands and to state for each species from where it colonized northern Melanesia. Such in- formation is recorded in preparation of an eventual zoogeographic and evolutionary analysis of the bird fauna of the area.

  • International Law Limits on Investor Liability in Human Rights Litigation
    \\server05\productn\H\HLI\50-2\HLI204.txt unknown Seq: 1 25-JUN-09 7:36 VOLUME 50, NUMBER 2, SUMMER 2009 International Law Limits on Investor Liability in Human Rights Litigation Michael D. Ramsey* This Article assesses efforts in U.S. courts, principally under the federal Alien Tort Statute, to hold foreign investors indirectly liable for human rights violations committed by the governments of countries in which they do business. Such claims, though intended as remedies for international law violations, create substantial tensions with international law in two respects. First, to the extent they purport to regulate the non-U.S. activities of non-U.S. entities, they may conflict with international law principles of prescriptive jurisdiction, which limit a nation’s ability to regulate the extraterritorial activities of non-nationals. Although an exception for universal jurisdiction allows nations to punish a few especially heinous interna- tional crimes without regard to territory or citizenship, it seems difficult to establish universal jurisdiction for most indirect investor liability claims, and in any event U.S. courts appear to have lost sight of this limitation. Second, investor liability suits may misconceive the source of customary international law principles. Because customary international law arises from the actual practices of nations followed out of a sense of legal obligation, its content cannot be derived from analogies to nations’ practices in areas that are factually and normatively distinct. The only reliable evidence of nations’ practices is what nations actually have done with respect to investor liability, and there is no consistent practice of imposing indirect liability on investors for host government abuses.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We describe a new species of Cornufer, subgenus Batrachylodes, from high-elevation forests of New Britain Island in the Bismarck Archipelago of Eastern Melanesia. The new species, Cornufer exedrus sp. nov., is a biogeographically disjunct member of the Batrachylodes clade, representing the first record of the subgenus from outside of the Solomon Archipel- ago. The new species is a small terrestrial form from dense, closed-canopy forests above 1500 meters elevation in the Na- kanai Mountains of eastern New Britain. It differs from its closest relatives, the other members of the subgenus Batrachylodes, on the basis of its minute body size, degree of digital disc expansion, reduced subdigital tuberculation, color pattern, and other traits related to its small size.

  • Part Ii Metro Manila and Its 200Km Radius Sphere
    PART II METRO MANILA AND ITS 200KM RADIUS SPHERE CHAPTER 7 GENERAL PROFILE OF THE STUDY AREA CHAPTER 7 GENERAL PROFILE OF THE STUDY AREA 7.1 PHYSICAL PROFILE The area defined by a sphere of 200 km radius from Metro Manila is bordered on the northern part by portions of Region I and II, and for its greater part, by Region III. Region III, also known as the reconfigured Central Luzon Region due to the inclusion of the province of Aurora, has the largest contiguous lowland area in the country. Its total land area of 1.8 million hectares is 6.1 percent of the total land area in the country. Of all the regions in the country, it is closest to Metro Manila. The southern part of the sphere is bound by the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon, all of which comprise Region IV-A, also known as CALABARZON. 7.1.1 Geomorphological Units The prevailing landforms in Central Luzon can be described as a large basin surrounded by mountain ranges on three sides. On its northern boundary, the Caraballo and Sierra Madre mountain ranges separate it from the provinces of Pangasinan and Nueva Vizcaya. In the eastern section, the Sierra Madre mountain range traverses the length of Aurora, Nueva Ecija and Bulacan. The Zambales mountains separates the central plains from the urban areas of Zambales at the western side. The region’s major drainage networks discharge to Lingayen Gulf in the northwest, Manila Bay in the south, the Pacific Ocean in the east, and the China Sea in the west.

  • The Freshwater Ichthyofauna of Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea!
    Pacific Science (1999), vol. 53, no. 4: 346-356 © 1999 by University of Hawai'i Press. All rights reserved The Freshwater Ichthyofauna of Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea! J. H. POWELL AND R. E. POWELL2 ABSTRACT: Tailings disposal from the Bougainville Copper Limited open-cut porphyry copper mine on Bougainville Island, Papua New Guinea (1972-1989) impacted the ichthyofauna of the Jaba River, one of the largest rivers on the island. To assess the 'extent of this impact, comparative freshwater ichthyologi­ cal surveys were conducted in five rivers on the island during the period 1975­ 1988. Fifty-eight fish species were recorded, including one introduction, Oreo­ chromis mossambicus. The icthyofauna is dominated by euryhaline marine spe­ cies consistent with that of the Australian region, but more depauperate. There are more than 100 species present on mainland New Guinea that are absent from Bougainville streams. Oreochromis mossambicus was the most abundant species in the sampled streams, accounting for 45% of the catch. The most abundant native fishes were the mainly small Gobiidae and Eleotridae. There were few native fish of potential value as food and these were restricted to an eleotrid gudgeon (Ophieleotris aporos), tarpon (Megalops cyprinoides), eel (An­ guilla marmorata), and snappers (Lutjanus argentimaculatus and Lutjanus fus­ cescens). Fish production in the rivers is limited by the morphology of the streams and the depauperate ichthyofauna. Fish yield from the Jaba River in its premining state is estimated to have ranged from 7 to 12 t/yr. The popula­ tion living in the Jaba ,catchment in 1988 (approximately 4,600 persons) shared this resource, resulting in an extremely low per-capita fish consumption rate of less than 3 kg/yr.

    https://doi.org/10.26593/sentris.v2i1.4564.59-72 The Legitimacy of Bougainville Secession from Papua New Guinea Muhammad Sandy Ilmi Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Katolik Parahyangan, Indonesia, [email protected] ABSTRACT What started as a movement to demand a distributive justice in mining revenue in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea, the conflict turned into the struggle for secession. From 1970’s the demand for secession have been rife and despite early agreement for more autonomy and more mining revenue for the autonomous region, the demand never faded. Under Francis Ona’s Bougainville Revolutionary Army, the movement take a new heights. Bougainville Revolutionary Army took coercive measure to push the government to acknowledge their demands by taking over the mine at Panguna. Papua New Guinean government response was also combative and further exacerbate the issue. Papua New Guinean Defense Force involvement adding the issue of human rights into the discourse. This paper will seek to analyze the normative question surrounding the legitimacy of the right to secession in Bougainville Island. The protracted conflict has halted any form of development in the once the most prosperous province of Papua New Guinea and should Bougainville Island become independent, several challenges will be waiting for Bougainvilleans. Keywords: Bougainville secession; Papua New Guinea conflict; mining injustice; human rights violation ABSTRAK Berawal dari bentuk perlawanan untuk mencapai keadilan dalam pembagian keuntungan dari sektor pertambangan, kemudian berubah menjadi perjuangan untuk memisahkan diri dari Papua Nugini.
