There. Now that we've got your attention with the title, allow us to show you what we mean by it. Yesterday, our first burial, Burial 1, appeared. The lonely pot at the end of the rainbow in San Remigio is lonely no more. Another smaller earthenware pottery appeared near where the first one was exposed.

The pot that was associated with Burial 1 looks similar to pottery of the so-called Philippine Metal Age, which roughly dates to around 1,000 BCE to 900 CE, corresponding to the immediate period before Chinese and Arab traders began to appear in the islands, bringing with them ceramics that have become a bane to archaeological sites due to massive and unchecked looting.

Tomorrow, we open another burial that was partially exposed at the West wall of Unit S10E2.
