Abstract: |
Recent excavations on the Batanes Islands, northern Philippines have produced remains from a number of sites collectively spanning a 3000 year period. Seven of the sites produced limited faunal assemblages including both bone and shell allowing questions to be asked about the nature of subsistence over this time-span. Comparison of the archaeological material with ethnographic portrayals of subsistence on Batanes revealed some inconsistencies - particularly regarding the importance of marine products in Ivatan diet. The persistence in the archaeological material of a terrestrial rather than a marine focus has interesting implications for maritime pursuits in general in Batanes prehistory.
