  • Investigations Into the Elemental Composition of Earthenware Vessels from the Guthe Collection Using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis
    Investigations into the Elemental Composition of Earthenware Vessels from the Guthe Collection using Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis ALICE YAO introduction: local earthenware vessels of the central visayans Important to the growth of chiefdom polities in the Philippines is the expansion of internal trade between coastal and inland groups ( Bacus 1990 : 349–350; Junker 1999 : 262). Ethnohistorical and archaeological evidence indicate that earthenware pottery manufactured by lowland coastal potters was one of the primary products traditionally exchanged between coastal and inland groups. While the increasing value placed on import ceramics (porcelain and celadon) and their role in the political economy has been well documented, local dimensions of production and internal trade are also important to an understanding of the political economy. Specifically, the organization of local pottery production may have changed to accommodate the development and consolidation of alliances between coastal and interior groups, as Junker (1999) discovered in the Tanjay chiefdom (264). During the height of Tanjay’s power, which spanned the early to mid second millennium ad, growing status stratifi- cation between elites spurred an expansion in regional earthenware exchange ( Jun ker 1999 : 290 –291). Earthenware were not only functional domestic vessels but also fa- cilitated feasts and public gatherings held by chiefs. Control over the manufacture and distribution of these wares was thus economically important to the creation of polit- ical alliances and subjects. The identification of compositional groups within local earthenware assem blages presents a potential means to the evaluation of exchange and production systems. Junker’s (1990) study of temper and morphology of earthenware represented a seminal approach to the detection of local versus non-local ware.

  • THE NEARSHORE FISHERIES in CENTRAL VISAYAS, PHILIPPINES: an IMPACT EVALUATION REPORT of CVRP-I1 by Marian 5. De/Os Angeles and R
    W-27-93 -WORKSHOP IN-pGLiTiC'V" THEORY AND POLICY AM 1'YG'--;" 513 NORTH Pf rV< INDIANA UNIVERSITY BlOOMiNGTON, IMDtAMA 47469-3186 '• THE NEARSHORE FISHERIES IN CENTRAL VISAYAS, PHILIPPINES: AN IMPACT EVALUATION REPORT OF CVRP-I1 by Marian 5. de/os Angeles and Ramyleo Pelayo2 Introduction The Philippine municipal small-scale fisheries provides livelihood for much of the archipelago's coastal population and is a significant supplier of the country's protein requirements. To increase fish production and improve fisherfolk's income, the government implemented a nationwide credit assistance program in the seventies. Livelihood gains appear to have been short-lived as the credit program which was tied to improved capital inputs increased entry into the fisheries. Thus, the twin problems of poverty and dwindling fishery resources continue to feed each other, and experts agree that the potential yield from the nearshore fisheries may already have been reached or even exceeded. The Central Visayas Regional Project - Phase I (CVRP-I) is the country's first attempt at implementing region-wide community-based management schemes for managing coastal resources, residual forests and upland agriculture areas. The project piloted resource conservation strategies at selected sites in the four islands of Central Visayas. These sites were characterized by low incomes, environmental stress and manageable micro watershed areas. CVRP-I was implemented during 1984-1991 through a loan from the World Bank. A Central Visayas Regional Project Office (CVRPO) administered the project activities and provided liason services among the communities, regional line agencies and the national government. This paper summarizes an impact evaluation study conducted on the nearshore fisheries component of CVRP-I in 1992 (delos Angeles and Pelayo 1992).

  • Heritage in Cebu City, the Philippines: a Study of “Competitive”
    Heritage in Cebu City, the Philippines: A Study of“ Competitive” Heritage Heritage in Cebu City, the Philippines: A Study of“ Competitive” Heritage ── A Preliminary Field Report（１） ── Masao NISHIMURA Introduction Heritage has been discussed among people all over the world. I have previously discussed the concept of heritage and its varieties in different contexts (e.g., Nishimura 2006a, 2006b), and recently, heritage has become a global phenomenon. UNESCO is responsible for the widespread popularity of heritage. The UNESCO World Heritage program surely makes people more aware of the heritage around them, and encourages them to think about its conservation. UNESCO and other associated agencies defined heritage from their own perspectives and, as of 2018, there are several categories of heritage. This has created confusion among people who are directly influenced by world heritage, and even in the academic world there is much confusion concerning the definition of heritage. In the Philippines, too, a number of people have talked about their own heritage from the perspective of conservation (e.g., Mojares 1982; Muares 1997; National Commission for Culture and the Arts 2013, 2014; Peralta 2013, 2014a, 2014b; Ramon Abolitiz Foundation 2011, 2013; Tenazas 1964). There are a number of local heritage sites throughout the country, but attitudes toward heritage differ across regions. Given these differences, I intend to explore the situation of heri- tage in Cebu. I have two aims: first, to specify what the people of Cebu think about heritage, and second, to reexamine variability in the general concept of heritage in comparison to locally generated concepts and actions related to heritage.
