The Pot to Die For!

This is it. The best pot that Cebu has ever seen in its archaeological history. Pot #5, as we call it, is one of two pots associated with Burial 3. It is an extremely important and significant find. It is carinated and carries an incised design that is very reminiscent of pottery associated with the Maitum (Cotabato) anthropomorphic potteries.

Congratulations to San Remigio! This is one for the books in Philippine Metal (or Iron) Age History!

Pots 5 and 6 near the feet of Burial #3.

Pot 5 the carinated pot. Note the tree root jutting out.
