Chapter 5 presents the results of surveys and excavations accomplished at El Chorro de Maíta initiated in 2006. These investigations refined the dimensions of te area over which the archaeological materials were dispersed, and study of the character of domestic contexts that surround the burial zone. The investigation of these areas and of the materials previously encountered there under the direction of José M. Guarch Delmonte, indicate the existence of mixed strata of indigenous and European materials located on top of strata with only indigenous materials, as well as a chronology of occupation for the site that extended from the 13th century up to the middle of the 16th century. Located and identified was a significant quantity of ceramic fragments of European origin concentrated in and near the cemetery. However, the presence of Spanish material or their indigenous management was moderate, reflecting continued local cultural patterns during the period of interaction with the Europeans.Less

Nearly a century ago, in 1922, Carl Guthe, from the University of Michigan, conducted a three-year-long archaeological reconnaissance of the southern Philippines. He identified 542 sites. Twenty-six of these sites contained European-made ceramics dating from the 377 years of Spanish colonial rule. Significantly, the majority of these were made during the nineteenth century in Great Britain and the Netherlands, both of which were neighbouring colonial powers in Southeast Asia. The century-old Guthe Collection continues to yield information regarding life in this remote corner of the Spanish colonial world.Less
