Silvestre 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My first exposure to the Philippine Cordillera cultures like the Kalinga was as a child tagging along with my mother to the Sunday open market in the city of Baguio in the Philippines. 1 was intrigued by the tattooed Kalinga men and women, the men dressed in their hand woven loin cloths and the women in bright colored traditional wrap around skirts with rows of agate and gold beads tied in their hair or hanging on their necks. They sat squat on the sidewalk chewing betel nut and spitting the red chew an amazing number of feet into the gutter! As a child I was impressed, (and those images remained vivid.). Never did I expect that graduate school in Arizona would lead me to do research on a people that had intrigued me as a child. The stereotypes of the Kalinga that I had grown up with faded away as I shared their lives each day for the year of fieldwork. I would be remiss if I did not say that living with the Kalinga was one of the most humbling, yet satisfying, e.xperiences of my life. Raised by parents who had a unique outlook in life, accepting people for what they are and not for what you want them to be was what my mother, Etta would say, a college professor, when I got Irustrated with people I could not understand. Like any teacher she would always have a handful of her college students come to the house to have study sessions or discussions about anything, life in general, maybe just to help her check papers, or just your normal hungry college kid coming home with my Mom to be fed. My father. Silver, was an architect and also dean of the college of a local university, also Tito Silver to most if not to all my finends - did the same. To Mama and Papa who saw the begirming of my life, and this project I am most grate till. My informal anthropological education started as a child. A year here and there of visiting exchange students living with us in our home in the Philippines from Australia, a bunch of American Field Scholars, a Rotary exchange student from Thailand and Japan, even a bunch of American army brat kids from the field troops that lived in Vietnam during the war who spend a whole summer month with us. I was pretty impressed by the richness of cultures that lived with us in our home. In retrospect, inspite of Catholic schools being a pain, it set a good foundation. College was A Blast! Literally in the Philippines, not withstanding military coups, dictatorships and a People Revolution made life interesting. Trips to see the world, outstanding. Most of all for graduate school in Arizona and for this Ph.D., 1 am indebted to: The Kalinga and the Kalinga Ethnoarchaeology Project network of friends and colleagues that have made this research possible. The Faculty of the Department of Anthropology who taught me through graduate school, to Prof. William A. Longacre, Outstanding Professor, Mentor and Friend, whose patience has been unending...To each every member of my committee. Professors John Olsen, William Rathje. Michael Schiffer, Mamadou Baro and Thomas Park. The Anthropology office staff for 5 scheduling, registration, copying. Most especially I am thankful tor those starving "foreign boy" lunches from Barbara Fregoso and Mary Stephenson. My family. The Jader's, Silvestre's and Aquino's. To Camille. Nonong and Abou. To Naomi and Jim Raby for being mom and dad after both of my own lived and left. Not withstanding all the other members of the Raby-Copsey Clan that I spend my birthdays. Holidays, even Hanukkah, and "Idaho Family Reunions" with. Big sister's Diane Bauer and Edy Raby who "encouraged" me through, not to forget great aunt Edith King for a great dinner in London. To Truly Great Friends, and there really is a lot ofyou who have egged me on. encouraged and pushed me through this seemingly never ending project. I am very grateftil. Most of all to my partner Jetf for sharing his lile with me.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. The Use GIS and Remote Sensing in the Assessment of Magat Watershed in the Philippines A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Environmental Management Massey University, Turitea Campus, Palmerston North, New Zealand Emerson Tattao 2010 Abstract The Philippine watersheds are continually being degraded— thus threatening the supply of water in the country. The government has recognised the need for effective monitoring and management to avert the declining condition of these watersheds. This study explores the applications of remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems (GIS), in the collection of information and analysis of data, in order to support the development of effective critical watershed management strategies. Remote sensing was used to identify and classify the land cover in the study area. Both supervised and unsupervised methods were employed to establish the most appropriate technique in watershed land cover classification. GIS technology was utilised for the analysis of the land cover data and soil erosion modelling. The watershed boundary was delineated from a digital elevation model, using the hydrological tools in GIS. The watershed classification revealed a high percentage of grassland and increasing agricultural land use, in the study area. The soil erosion modelling showed an extremely high erosion risk in the bare lands and a high erosion risk in the agriculture areas.

  • Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030
    Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030 Regional Development Council 02 Tuguegarao City Message The adoption of the Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan (CRZDFP) 2005-2030, is a step closer to our desire to harmonize and sustainably maximize the multiple uses of the Cagayan River as identified in the Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) 2005-2030. A greater challenge is the implementation of the document which requires a deeper commitment in the preservation of the integrity of our environment while allowing the development of the River and its environs. The formulation of the document involved the wide participation of concerned agencies and with extensive consultation the local government units and the civil society, prior to its adoption and approval by the Regional Development Council. The inputs and proposals from the consultations have enriched this document as our convergence framework for the sustainable development of the Cagayan Riverine Zone. The document will provide the policy framework to synchronize efforts in addressing issues and problems to accelerate the sustainable development in the Riverine Zone and realize its full development potential. The Plan should also provide the overall direction for programs and projects in the Development Plans of the Provinces, Cities and Municipalities in the region. Let us therefore, purposively use this Plan to guide the utilization and management of water and land resources along the Cagayan River. I appreciate the importance of crafting a good plan and give higher degree of credence to ensuring its successful implementation. This is the greatest challenge for the Local Government Units and to other stakeholders of the Cagayan River’s development.

  • Oryza Sativa) Cultivation in the Ifugao Rice Terraces, Philippine Cordilleras
    Plant Microfossil Results from Old Kiyyangan Village: Looking for the Introduction and Expansion of Wet-field Rice (Oryza sativa) Cultivation in the Ifugao Rice Terraces, Philippine Cordilleras Mark HORROCKS, Stephen ACABADO, and John PETERSON ABSTRACT Pollen, phytolith, and starch analyses were carried out on 12 samples from two trenches in Old Kiyyangan Village, Ifugao Province, providing evidence for human activity from ca. 810–750 cal. B.P. Seed phytoliths and endosperm starch of cf. rice (Oryza sativa), coincident with aquatic Potamogeton pollen and sponge spicule remains, provide preliminary evidence for wet-field cultivation of rice at the site. The first rice remains appear ca. 675 cal. B.P. in terrace sediments. There is a marked increase in these remains after ca. 530–470 cal. B.P., supporting previous studies suggesting late expansion of the cultivation of wet-field rice in this area. The study represents initial, sediment-derived, ancient starch evidence for O. sativa, and initial, sediment-derived, ancient phytolith evidence for this species in the Philippines. KEYWORDS: Philippines, Ifugao Rice Terraces, rice (Oryza sativa), pollen, phytoliths, starch. INTRODUCTION THE IFUGAO RICE TERRACES IN THE CENTRAL CORDILLERAS,LUZON, were inscribed in the UNESCOWorldHeritage List in 1995, the first ever property to be included in the cultural landscape category of the list (Fig. 1). The nomination and subsequent listing included discussion on the age of the terraces. The terraces were constructed on steep terrains as high as 2000 m above sea level, covering extensive areas. The extensive distribution of the terraces and estimates of the length of time required to build these massive landscape modifications led some researchers to propose a long history of up to 2000–3000 years, which was supported by early archaeological 14C evidence (Barton 1919; Beyer 1955; Maher 1973, 1984).

  • Hydraulics Research Wallingford
    ~ Hydraulics Research Wallingford SEDIMENTATION IN RESERVOIRS: MAGAT RESERVOIR, CAGAYAN VALLEY, LUZON PHILIPPINES 1984 reservoir survey and data analysis R Wooldridge - T Eng (CEI) In collaboration with: National Irrigation Administration, Manila, Philippines Report No OD 69 April 1986 Registered Office: Hydraulics Research Limited, Wallingford, Oxfordshire OXIO 8BA. Telephone: 0491 35381. Telex: 848552 ABSTRACT The Overseas Development Unit of Hydraulics Research Limited is involved in studies to quantify the effects of catchment management in reducing the quantity of sediment being delivered to rivers and deposited in reservoirs. Many recent reservoir studies have shown that observed sedimentation rates can be more than four times the rates estimated during the feasibility studies. This study uses a computer program, developed for a series of Kenyan reservoirs, to calculate the change in storage capacity of Magat Reservoir in north-central Luzon, the Philippines, as the first stage in a unified study of the total catchment erosion/reservoir sedimentstion system. A more detailed examination of the pre-impoundment survey data has shown that the reservoir storage capacity is some 25% greater than the original Feasibility Study and a first estimate of the catchment erosion rate is double the Feasibility Report estimate.

  • KENYA in COUNTRY INFORMATION GEOGRAPHY Kenya Lies on the Equator and Shares Common Borders with Tanzania and Uganda, Which Make up the Region of ‘East Africa’
    KENYA IN COUNTRY INFORMATION GEOGRAPHY Kenya lies on the equator and shares common borders with Tanzania and Uganda, which make up the region of ‘East Africa’. Its location allows for access to Kenya’s beautiful beaches and the Indian Ocean, Kenya’s wild plains and mountain ranges and its enchanting rift valley. Kenya is roughly the size of Texas or Spain. PEOPLE There are 52 tribes in Kenya each with their own tribal language though most people in the country speak Kiswahili as well as their own tribal language. English is the commercial language; therefore, it is commonly spoken in the major towns and at all lodges and hotels. CLIMATE Kenya is on the equator therefore we do not have major seasons. The climate is very pleasant and variations in altitude and terrain can create contrasts. Generally, in the Highlands the climate is cool and temperate; elsewhere the temperatures can reach approximately 35’C during the day. The coast is quite humid and balmy. Over most of the country there are two rainy seasons: • The “short rains” which occur from late October through November • The “long rains” which occur from late March to early June • It is perfectly possible to visit Kenya during the rainy season, few roads are affected, the park is fresh and green and there are fewer people and vehicles. Rain usually falls in the late afternoon preceded by bright, sunny and fresh days • July and August are the coolest months and are often overcast especially in the morning • December-Mid March is the warmest time of the year PASSPORT/VISA All tourists entering Kenya must have a tourist visa, which can either be obtained through the Kenya High Commission or via the e-visa portal on www.ecitizen.go.ke.

  • Methodological Issues in Zooarchaeology
    Methodological Issues in Zooarchaeology Tanya M. Peres The main goal of zooarchaeology, as a specialty within archaeology, is to interpret human and environment interactions based primarily on the animal remains recov- ered from archaeological sites. This chapter is not meant to be a comprehensive text on zooarchaeology; rather it is a guide to some of the analytical methods and ter- minology that are used commonly by practitioners of zooarchaeology. While each researcher has her/his own way of analyzing and interpreting animal remains, some methods, terms, and analytical tools are considered standard. The purpose of this chapter is to give the reader an overview of basic methodological issues and appli- cations within zooarchaeology. I acknowledge that not all the faunal remains recov- ered from archaeological sites are related to subsistence activities; however, as the chapters included in this volume are centered on discerning subsistence behaviors through the integration of multiple datasets, I focus more on subsistence practices here. This chapter addresses taphonomic and recovery issues as well as sampling and analytical methods to enable the reader to understand the case studies included in this volume (for a similar treatment of paleoethnobotanical remains, see Wright, this volume). 1 Why Study Zooarchaeology? Animal remains can be used to inform us about a variety of issues in the study of societies, such as environment, seasonality, subsistence, hunting practices, political and social organization, settlement patterns, and resource-use. As a discipline, zoo- archaeology has grown exponentially over the past three decades to include special- ists working in dozens of countries on all aspects and time periods of human history (Hesse and Wapnish 1985).
