Abstract:	This paper summarizes the results of my research on protohistoric complex polities in the Dumaguete-Bacong area of southeastern Negros Island in the central Philippines. A preliminary report on the 1988-89 survey and excavations was presented at the 1994 IPPA meeting (Bacus 1996b). In this paper I focus on results pertaining to the internal organization of the Dumaguete polity's economy and chiefly élites' external political-economic relations. To begin to elucidate variability among protohistoric Philippines polities, the paper concludes with a brief comparison of Dumaguete's political economy with that of two other contemporary Visayan polities, Cebu and Tanjay.
