Abstract

The jar burial tradition in the Philippines is commonly perceived as a single entity, but it is clear from recent analysis that similarities are occurring throughout the region based on interment method and associated artefacts. Nevertheless, there is little discussion that includes jar forms and lids as basis for comparison. This study considers this information while also taking unpublished and untranslated reports into account. This research uses excavators' observations, unpublished photos, drawings, and reconstructed jars in museums to identify physical attributes. In doing so, a pattern emerges suggesting that the jars and lids are indicators of differing burial traditions. We distinguish at least four jar burial traditions in the Philippines based on the combined pattern of jar burial body form and their associated lids.

解释菲律宾考古瓮的传统：形式、盖子和东南亚岛屿的区域联系

菲律宾的罐葬传统通常被认为是一个单一的实体，但从最近的分析中可以清楚地看出，根据埋葬方法和相关的人工制品，整个地区都存在相似之处。然而，很少有讨论包括罐子形式和盖子作为比较的基础。本研究考虑了这些信息，同时也考虑了未发表和未翻译的报告。本研究使用挖掘者的观察，未发表的照片，图纸和博物馆重建的罐子来识别物理属性。在此过程中，出现了一种模式，表明罐子和盖子是不同埋葬传统的标志。我们区分了至少四个罐葬传统在菲律宾基于罐葬的身体形式和他们相关的盖子的组合模式。

期刊介绍： Archaeological Research in Asia presents high quality scholarly research conducted in between the Bosporus and the Pacific on a broad range of archaeological subjects of importance to audiences across Asia and around the world. The journal covers the traditional components of archaeology: placing events and patterns in time and space; analysis of past lifeways; and explanations for cultural processes and change. To this end, the publication will highlight theoretical and methodological advances in studying the past, present new data, and detail patterns that reshape our understanding of it. Archaeological Research in Asia publishes work on the full temporal range of archaeological inquiry from the earliest human presence in Asia with a special emphasis on time periods under-represented in other venues. Journal contributions are of three kinds: articles, case reports and short communications. Full length articles should present synthetic treatments, novel analyses, or theoretical approaches to unresolved issues. Case reports present basic data on subjects that are of broad interest because they represent key sites, sequences, and subjects that figure prominently, or should figure prominently, in how scholars both inside and outside Asia understand the archaeology of cultural and biological change through time. Short communications present new findings (e.g., radiocarbon dates) that are important to the extent that they reaffirm or change the way scholars in Asia and around the world think about Asian cultural or biological history.
