Islands and hominin adaptation
Multifaceted analyses of lithic artifacts from Callao Cave in northern Luzon (Philippines)
Homo luzonensis
La nouvelle espèce Homo luzonensis a été décrite en 2019 à partir d’un assemblage constitué de treize éléments fossiles découverts dans la grotte de Callao (île de Luzon, Philippines) en 2007, 2011 et 2015. La datation directe de deux de ces fossiles par les séries de l’uranium indique des âges minimums respectifs de 50 000 et 67 000 ans. Dans cette présentation, nous montrons que ces spécimens présentent une combinaison de caractéristiques morph…

A new species of Homo from the Late Pleistocene of the Philippines
Unfolding the technological production strategies of the large toolkits across Philippine Paleolithic sites with specific reference to northern Mindanao
Understanding the Callao Cave Depositional History
This paper presents a soil micromorphological analysis of the stratigraphic sequence of sediments recorded in the antechamber of Callao Cave, northern Luzon. The study builds on our understanding of the depositional and post-depositional history of the cave sediments and elucidates further our knowledge of human occupation at Callao. The results confirm three in situ periods of human frequentation in the antechamber. The most recent recognisable …
The Neolithic settlement of Loc Giang on the Vam Co Dong River, southern Vietnam and its broader regional context
Archaeological recognition of mortuary behavior in Callao Cave, northern Luzon, Philippines through taphonomic analysis of isolated human remains
Mobility of early islanders in the Philippines during the Terminal Pleistocene/Early Holocene boundary
Shell tool technology in Island Southeast Asia
Modern Humans in the Philippines
Adaptation and foraging from the Terminal Pleistocene to the Early Holocene
The recently discovered human remains from Callao Cave, northern Luzon, Philippines securely date the migration of hominins into the Philippines to ca. 70 kya (thousands of years ago). The direct route to reach Luzon from the Asian mainland is via Borneo, Palawan, through Mindoro and into Luzon. Our research focuses on Mindoro Island as a potential stepping stone to the main Philippine Archipelago. While Palawan and Luzon have produced evidence f…
“Small Size” in the Philippine Human Fossil Record

Mijares4, “Small Size” in the Philippine Human Fossil Record: Is It Meaningful for a Better Understanding of the Evolutionary History of the Negritos?, Human Biology, Vol. 85, No. 1-3, Revisiting the “Negrito” Hypothesis (February-June 2013), pp. 45-65
“Small Size” in the Philippine Human Fossil Record
"Pygmy populations" are recognized in several places over the world, especially in Western Africa and in Southeast Asia (Philippine "negritos," for instance). Broadly defined as "small-bodied Homo sapiens" (compared with neighboring populations), their origins and the nature of the processes involved in the maintenance of their phenotype over time are highly debated. Major results have been recently obtained from population genetics on present-da…
North of the Southern Arc – The Mindoro Archaeological Research Program
This paper presents some preliminary results from a research project designed to identify, for the first time, prehistoric occupation sites in Mindoro Occidental, Philippines. The aim of the project was to identify cave and rockshelter sites with potential to contain undisturbed Pleistocene deposits and thus the prospect to enhance knowledge about the earliest settlement history of modern humans in Southeast Asia. Over the course of the project a…
New evidence for a 67,000-year-old human presence at Callao Cave, Luzon, Philippines
Cave Sites in Northeastern Luzon, Philippines
Soil micromorphology was among the approaches used to explore site formation in two cave sites in northern Luzon: Eme and Dalan Serkot Caves. Interplay of biogenic, sedimentary, and anthropogenic processes worked and reworked the archaeological sediments at both sites. Eme Cave was found to be highly bioturbated by faunal activities and shrink-swell processes, and caution is needed in interpreting its archaeological contexts. However, thin sectio…

The Early Austronesian Migration to Luzon
In the northern Philippines, interaction between the foragers of the Peuffffablanca cave sites and the early Austronesian farmers of the Cagayan Valley (northern Luzon) was established by at least 3500 years ago. Farmers exchanged earthenware pottery, clay earrings, spindle whorls and shell beads with foragers, possibly for forest products. This exchange, however, did not, on present evidence, include cereal-based foods such as rice. The botanica…
An Expedient Lithic Technology in Northern Luzon (Philippines)
The persisterne of a simple litbic technology east of the so-called Movius Line has long evoked the interest of prehistorians. Two plausible hypotheses bave been presented. The first involves the availability in Southeast Asia of wooden materials such as bamboo, which can easily be shaped into tools. The second concerns the predominarne of coarse-grained raw materials (e.g. andesite), which are difftcult to shape into formal tools. This study too…
