| Abstract: |
Introduction: In January 1978, a field training problem was initiated jointly by the anthropology departments of the University of the Philippines and the National Museum of the Philippines. The field project was designed to complement lectures on theory presented at the university under the auspices of the Fulbright-Hayes Exchange Program. Peterson's intent was to provide an accelerated but complete example of the research process by implementing a small-scale research project. The project began with the initial steps of research background and conceptual formulation and proceeded to field technique, analysis, and publication. Faculty and students of the university and employees of the National Museum participated in the field problem. The project was hampered by lack of funds and equipment, but significant gains were made in archaeological research as well as training. Those gains that relate to research are discussed in this paper.
