| Abstract: |
Anthropomorphic earthenware from a cave, in Pinol, Maitum, Sotuh Cotavbato was reported to the Archaeological divison of the National Museum of the Philippines in June 1991. It includes burial jars with lids designed and formed like human figures with complete facial expressions. The vessels can be attributed to the Metal Age of the Philippines, c. 500 BC to AD 500. Archaeological research is being conducted on these very important and significant cultural remains, which are amongst the most important material evidence for Maguindanao prehistory and perhaps the prehistory of the Filipino people in general.
