| Notes: |
This report presents an overview of the state of Paleolithic archaeology in the Philippines, a type of study that began about 80 years ago. A number of Paleolithic sites have been investigated, mainly on the islands of Palawan and Luzon. Indications for the presence of early human occupation can be found in the Middle Pleistocene, while the oldest human fossils associated with Paleolithic stone tools are about 50,000 years old. Morphological, technological and functional analyses have been undertaken for a number of Paleolithic and Epipaleolithic assemblages.
