Archaeological Rescue Dig Updates (06.13.2006)

Overview:
-The Philippine National Museum has sent an archaeological team to conduct a rescue dig at the Plaza Independencia in response to the anticipated construction of a road tunnel in the area.
- The entire Plaza Independencia has been identified as an archaeological field (burial sites of pre-Spanish Filipinos) based on previous explorations conducted by the said institution.
- 3 layers of time have been previously identified in the area: pre-Spanish, Spanish, and the American Colonial era. The pre-Spanish aspect of the area focuses on it of being a burial site of the early Filipinos.













Bone fragments (probably pre-Spanish) were found in this site (photo below)just a while ago according to one of the members of the team whom I chatted with.

The concrete structure below is probably from a previous structure that stood in the park.



Map of Spanish Cebu. Plaza Independencia and Fort San Pedro is at the bottom right portion (obscured).





.........MORE UPDATES tomorrow when the diggings resume...

amazing.

this is by far one of the very few sensible things that i've heard about our city in so many years.

hope we'll be able to define our role better in history with this. and hope they do finish what good thing they've started here.
