Highlights
Geological history and Evolution of Batanes Islands
This research project is a collaborative undertaking between the Batanes Historical Foundation Inc., the Batanes Congressional Office and the
National Museum. The purpose of the research is to gather geological data to establish the geological history of the province. The result will be
used as additional information that may be included in the dossier for the province’s bid for inclusion in the UNESCO Heritage List.
The focus of this year’s geological study is the island of Sabtang. It is the third largest island in the Batanes Group and one of the least studied
island that composed Batanes. Field collection of rock, fossils and other geologic data were completed.About 262 fossils and rock samples were
collected.
A Study of Ammonite Fossils from Mindoro
The study is a collaborative project between the National Museum of the Philippines and the National Museum of Science and Nature (NMSN),
Tokyo Japan. The objectives of study are: to collect different species of fossil ammonites to determine the exact age of the area and
environment of deposition. Aside from ammonites the group also collected belemnites sp, turritella sp and bivalve shells. Mindoro is one of the
few islands in the Philippines with Jurassic rock exposures.

ARCHAEOLOGY
Highlights
The year 2012 was another productive year for the staff of the Archaeology Division, wherein they have accomplished several archaeological and
museological undertakings. Research activities in the field have generated interesting and significant results that would greatly contribute to our
growing understanding of the archaeology, prehistory, and cultural heritage of the Philippines. Collaborations with local and foreign institutions
and organizations have been fostered in these research endeavors for a better cooperation towards the development of archaeological
research, as well as for the promotion and preservation of our nation’s rich cultural and archaeological heritage.
TERRESTRIAL AND UNDERWATER ARCHAEOLOGY
Field Investigations
The following are the list of the field sites that has been systematically studied, explored and excavated by the research team of the Archaeology
Division in different locations of the country:

Kabayan, Benguet
RoxasCity, Capiz (off coast Barangay Culasi)
Scarborough Shoal
Barangay Libertad, ButuanCity
Barangay Magsuhot, Bacong, Nagros Oriental
Kabayan Mummies Research in Timbac Rockshelters, Kabayan, Benguet
As part of the NCCA Kabayan Mummy Project, a team from the Archaeology Division conducted assessment, documentation and recording of
mummified remains from Timbac rockshelters 1 and 2 as part of the conservation efforts in the preservation and safeguarding of the burial
rockshelter sites that contained mummies in wooden coffins. Two field seasons (30 January to 6 February and 12 to 19 March) were devoted in
this research activity. The initial work involved the identification of the wooden coffins present in the sites and their types and the assessment of
the condition of the mummified human remains in each coffin. This is then followed by systematic recording and documentation as
measurement of the coffins, physical analyses of individual mummies, recording of any associated materials with the remains, and mapping of
the burial site. The assessment work revealed the deteriorating state of the mummies, which required immediate conservation treatment.
Cleaning should be done in all the coffins as it may contribute to further deterioration of the mummy remains. In addition, associated materials
such as textiles required conservation as well.
Investigation of a Reported Shipwreck Site in RoxasCity, Capiz
Last 24 to 28 February, a team from the Underwater Archaeology section investigated a shipwreck off coast Barangay Culasi in RoxasCity, after
reports of ceramics being recovered from the wreck site. The investigation dive confirmed presence of archaeological materials such as ship
remains, porcelain ceramics, stoneware jars, and a mound of assorted ceramics and metal. However, it was also revealed that the wreck site was
heavily looted, since no intact ceramics were found. The ship remains include bulkheads, indicative of a typical Chinese shipbuilding feature,
which are then measured. Preliminary analyses of the ceramics found placed the date of the wreck site probably around early 19th century,
although this is still inconclusive. The confirmation of the presence of a shipwreck site off coast Roxas city would definitely require further
research. Its location can also serve as a training ground for maritime archaeology field exercises. Lastly the ship can be viewed as a tool for
tourism, which needs further protection of the wreck site.
2012 Scarborough Shoal Underwater Archaeological Project
On the fourth season of the Scarborough Underwater Archaeological Project, a team from the Underwater Archaeological section in
collaboration with the Far Eastern Foundation for Nautical Archaeology carried out for this year another underwater archaeological excavation
of wreck site Scarborough Shoal. The project was originally scheduled from 26 March to 8 May but due to the rising tension between the
Philippines and China regarding the territorial ownership of the Scarborough Shoal the project was prematurely terminated. The project’s aim
for this year is the excavation of SS4 site, which was discovered in 2011. The preliminary target of the investigation was the significant magnetic
anomaly that could be part of the ship cargo as well as the area where surface collection of ceramics were recovered. The initial archaeological
investigation revealed the presence of a granite stone that is possibly part of an anchor, ceramics, and metal objects; confirming the area as an
underwater archaeological site. Nine excavation squares were opened in which it further yielded archaeological materials such as celadon bowls,
dishes, globular jars and vases, stoneware jars, metal rings, Chinese coins, bronze gongs, unidentified metal concretions and granite anchors.
Archaeological Excavation of Butuan Boats in Brgy. Libertad, ButuanCity
In a continuing project ‘Reviving the Legacy of Butuan Boats’, the National Museum with the grant received from the National Commission for
Culture and the Arts set off another archaeological undertaking in Barangay Libertad in Butuan City to excavate previously identified wooden
boats. From May to June, teams from the Archaeology Division were sent to Butuan to conduct archaeological survey and excavation. Two
Butuan boats were partially exposed, revealing the keel planks and their details. The first boat contained a lug on the keel plank carved as one
long straight protrusion. The second boat on the other hand has no lugs. Kaong fibers or cabo negro were also recovered from the site. The
excavation site were not closed for public viewing upon the request of the City Government of Butuan, who is also an active partner of the
NationalMuseum cultural projects. The public can still view the boats upom coordination with the Local Government Unit.
The 2012 Bacong Archaeological Project
On the third phase of the Bacong Archaeolological Project, the team from the Archaeology Division conducted another systematic excavation
and exploration in Barangay Magsuhot and vicinities in Bacong, Negros Oriental in search of further evidence of Metal Age communities. From
May to June, the team excavated the Yucor Property site situated uphill of the barangay. Two 2m x 2m excavation squares were opened
revealing several pottery assemblages with associated iron implements. Despite the richness of earthenware pottery vessels in the site, no burial
jars were found associated with it, which strengthened the assumption that the area may have been used as a ritual site during the Metal Age.
This was further supported by the presence of iron implements with unique morphology, which seemed to have been intentionally placed and
arranged in the site with the pottery vessels.
Aside from the systematic excavations in Brgy. Magsuhot, the team also conducted explorations and few test excavations in 50 possible sites in
other barangays in Bacong; identified for presence of archaeological materials indicative of early habitation and settlement. One of the sites
surveyed and test excavated is in Barangay Balayagmanok in which it revealed palaeosol deposits beneath the pyroclastic layer. No artifacts
however were recovered from the palaesol layer although it has been suspected that the said layer might be evidence of an ancient mangrove or
organic deposit.The significant results of the archaeological undertakings in Bacong for this year would therefore require further investigation of
the area and would recommend a more extensive and comprehensive archaeological excavations.
Material Analysis and Other Related Activities
Archaeometry and Restoration of the Earthenware Vessels from Brgy. Magsuhot, Bacong, Negros Oriental
The three seasons (2009 to 2011) of systematic excavations and explorations in the municipality of Bacong, Negros Oriental resulted to the
recovery of rich assemblages of earthenware burial jars and pottery vessels, particularly in Barangay Magsuhot. These excavated materials were
properly cleaned, inventoried, accessioned, labelled, bagged, and stored. For the 2012 season a team from the Archaeology Division conducted
artifact analysis and restoration of potteries recovered from he said site. This is also an offshoot from the 6.8 magnitude earthquake that
happened in the whole island of Negros Oriental last 6 February. From 13 to 26 March, the team assessed the status of the artifacts securely
stored at the Barangay Hall of Magsuhot and at the Municipality Hall of Bacong after the February 2012 earthquake and the December 2011
flooding in the area, conducted metrical and morphological analysis of earthenware potteries for a much defined typology of these artifacts,
restored the restorable vessels, recorded the materials through photo documentation and scientific illustration, and encoded the data from the
archaeometric analysis using a database program.
A total of 41 vessels were analyzed, classified into presentation dishes or footed vessels, incense burner, globular pots, angular pots, ovaloid
pots and bowls. The pots were evidently low fired with some having traces of red slipping. The data from the archaeometric analysis are
encoded in a developed database file from Microsoft Access program. The scientific illustration and restoration on the other hand are
simultaneously done. The restoration of pottery used materials such as castone, plaster of paris, marine epoxy, and glue. After the restoration,
each artifacts were packed in bubble wraps and net bags with proper labels before storing them in plastic crates covered with bubble wraps and
foam to cushion each vessel, preventing it from further breakage.
Reconstruction and Reproduction of the Earthenware Coffin Excavated in Brgy. Magsuhot, Bacong, Negros Oriental
The reconstruction and restoration process of the earthenware coffin excavated in Brgy. Magsuhot, Bacong, Negros Oriental last April 2010 has
actually started in September of the same year; and this year it has finally reached its full restored form. The long and tedious process of
assembling together the hundreds of pieces of earthenware sherds was complicated by the eroded condition of the sherds and the missing
significant parts of the artifact. The initial stages of reconstruction was single-handedly performed by Senior Technician Jonathan Jacar. Realizing
the bulk of the task, a four-man team was formed to accomplish the task. Activities of the reconstruction and restoration involved sorting and
identification of sherds whether they belonged to the body of the coffin or the cover, cleaning and drying of some sherds, fitting and bonding of
the pieces (initially with strong adhesive such as Mighty Bond instant glue then eventually with marine epoxy), restoration of missing parts, final
retouch of fitted or bonded parts, and filling up of the cracks.
After the completion of the its restoration, a production of its replica was then performed, which started on 16 September and finished in 30
October. The creation of its mold utilized silicon rubber, hardeners, resin, woven mat, nuts and bolts and calsomine. The making of the mold
entailed careful planning of the right mixture of the materials for the desired thickness and elasticity. The material for making the replica is
castone and Plaster of Paris.
ARCHAEOLOGY RECORDS SECTION
Progress Report on the Database Management
This report summarizes the computerization activities undertaken at the Records Section of the Archaeology division. Records available
comprised of archaeological field report, specimen inventory record, manuscript, topographic maps, photo files composed of slides, contact
prints and black and white prints and publications.
The following are the activities carried out at the Records Section:
1. An update of database program from version 2.2 to version 3.5 had been carried out. This means that 120 % database application had
been upgraded, that shows a more improved user interface, better accessibility and advanced on overall functions.
2. The use of the newly acquired computer unit designed to connect (5) computers at the Records section for the data base management.
This system is essential in monitoring and maintaining a database application that could easily communicate or connect various records
using a common system or database switchboard. The presence of the network system enhanced the speed accessing files.
This records database Switchboard is accessed by the six (6) computers working simultaneously on different records. Displayed in this
switchboard are the various types of archaeological records that require the digitization, i.e. Field Report Data Display, Manuscript
Inventory Data Display, Maps Data Entry Form, Sitelist Data Display, Site Remark, Photofile Data Display, and Slide File Data Display.
The scanning of Archaeological Specimen Inventory Records (ASIR), Filed Reports and slides has been prioritized in the digitization
primarily because of its importance to the researchers and the present physical condition of the document that need to be preserved.
3. The ASIR has been arranged according to Regions I to XIII (following the old system of region classification). A total of 16,985 pages of
ASIR from Region I to X representing 56.9 % of the total ASIR (Archaeological Specimens Inventory Record) with 1,309 folders or records
has been linked using the network linking system. In the process the ASIR data is linked to the database of Site List Display or vice versa
and eventually will be linked to the Field Report Data Display.
In sync with the scanning of ASIR and Field Reports, 1030 or 8% slides were also scanned and properly maintained at the Records
Section.
4. Simultaneous with the scanning and network linking, cataloguing or indexing of filed reports is also carried out at the Records Section.
Archaeological Field Reports refers to the reports submitted by Researchers to the Records Section after conducting archaeological
research anywhere in the Philippines. Cataloguing or indexing of field reports includes entry of annotated bibliography, subject
classification, author, location etc. Field Report Display Data contained 1,193 files or 97.5% of field reports with total number of 13,399
scanned pages.
5. Manuscripts are articles on general topics, such as archaeology, anthropology, geology, zoology, botany, underwater archaeology etc.
that has been submitted to the Records Section. Manuscripts were also catalogued or indexed which includes entry of annotated
bibliography, subject, classification, author, location etc. The database of entered manuscripts is found in the Manuscript Inventory
Data Display that contains 1475 files or 85% of the total manuscripts filed at the Records Section.
6. All the documents that were scanned and inventoried were properly maintained both physically and in a database application. The
physical maintenance involves cataloguing, labeling and sometimes segregation of folders that contains two different reports and most
of the times separating the duplicate or triplicate copies for a single document.
The digitization project undertaken at the Records Section of the Archaeology Division has been going on smoothly and effectively. At present
the Records Section is trying to establish a database system that would track the physical movement of the archeological documents. This refers
to the in-coming and out-going of archaeological records. This type of database system could easily trace the whereabouts of the archeological
records. In the future we could assign standard codes on each document that would correspond to the artifacts referred to the Specimen
Inventory Records.
ZOOARCHAEOLOGY SECTION
For 2012, the Zooarchaeology Section had been continuing the identification of faunal and human remains and retrieval of Zooarchaeological
materials from different archaeological sites. Maintenance of reference collection and transfer of collections to the permanent visual storage
room was one of the main accomplishments of Researchers and Technicians of Zooarchaeology section.
As part of maintaining the collections the following are the accomplished activities:
1. Measurement of the volume of records of the Zooarchaeology Section (as per
Memo requirements from the National Archives)
2. Encoding and updating of reference collection
3. Identification and re-bagging of faunal and human remains
4. Supervised the transfer of Zooarchaeological collections from previous storage rooms to the newly constructed living storage
COLLECTIONS HOLDING SECTION
The task of the Collections Holdings Section (CHS) is the maintenance of Archaeology Division Collections which comprise the cultural heritage of
the country is accomplished as a routine curatorial/museological work.
The maintenance of the various cultural/archaeological collections involved the general cleaning/washing, sorting, identifying, classifying,
accessioning, re-inventory, recording, putting of labels and bagging. Also involved are the basic restoration work and photo documentation,
construction of wooden pedestals for the large jars kept in the storage and the setting up double metal rack inside the four archaeology visual
storage rooms where hundreds of the plastic crates that contain various archaeological artifacts were distributed.
Personnel of the Collections Holdings Section were also involved in the transfer/hauling of Archaeology Division collections to the recently
refurbished Archaeology visual storage at the ground floor of the National Art Gallery Building (NAG).
1. Former Archaeology storage beside the Museum Garage where the Beyer’s collection, Intramuros Archaeological specimens, and a large
amount of underwater archaeolology ceramics sherd collection were temporarily kept.
2. Former Archaeology storage beside the Civil Service district office where early collections of cultural/archaeological artifact were
likewise temporarily kept.
3. Former Ceramic Room at the 3rd floor of the OldCongressBuilding where some of the national cultural collections and important
cultural/archaeological artifacts as well as the local pottery collections which were mainly specimens from Batangas and Laguna
archaeological sites were kept.

EXHIBITION SUPPORT
NAG Rehabilitation and New Exhibits
The galleries and exhibits at the National Art Gallery (NAG) located at the second and third floors of the National Museum at the Old
Legislative Building in Padre Burgos St., Manila was temporarily closed to the public from August 13 to September 30, 2012.
According to Dir. Jeremy R. Barns, CESO III, the closure shall pave the way for the “completion of improvements and renovations to
the gallery floors and public spaces of the building, as well as the rehanging of the art collections throughout the completed
galleries.” In support of the management’s curatorial direction, the Arts Division was able to prepare the artworks intended for
exhibition in the rehabilitated halls of the National Art Gallery (NAG). Specifically, artworks intended for exhibition had been
prioritized for preventive conservation in coordination with the Chemistry and Conservation Laboratory Division. A total of 316
artworks from the NM visual art collection were exhibited in seven galleries. The division also assisted in the preparation of
exhibition materials such as captions and labels.
Exhibiton Support was provided in the following galleries at the NAG:
The Old House of Representatives Session Hall (also known as "The Hall of the Masters")
Gallery I (Luis I. Ablaza Hall)
Gallery II (FCCP Hall)
Gallery III
Gallery IV (Fundación Santiago Hall)
Gallery V
Gallery VI
Gallery VIII (Silvina and Juan C. Laya Hall)
Gallery IX
Gallery X (Museum Foundation of the Philippines Hall)
COLLECTION MANAGEMENT
Collections
Total No. of Artworks in the Official Inventory (excluding those for accessioning): 1,200
Number of artworks that underwent preventive conservation: 670 pcs.
As the custodian of the NM visual art collection, the Arts Division routinely conducts preventive conservation procedures on
artworks and maintenance of the art storage areas. Exhibition halls and galleries were likewise inspected and instances of
deterioration of artworks were brought to the attention of the management and the Chemistry and Conservation Laboratory
Division. Moreover, movement of artworks from storage areas and exhibitions halls was also supervised by staff of the division.
Digitization
More than 1,000 artworks of the National Museum had undergone digitization starting April 2012. Professional photographer
Benigno “Bengy” Toda III volunteered his services to photograph the collection.
With the Arts Division at the lead, necessary documents and permits were prepared. The high-resolution images would form part of
the proposed Digital Photo Library that could be used for future publications and cataloguing of the collection. Since the work
involved the movement of artworks and unframing/reframing, the Chemistry and Conservation Laboratory Division assured that
proper conservation procedures were followed.Aside from the NM collection, the GSIS Collection that was turned over to the
National Museum was also photographed.
Artworks Retrieved
The staff of the NM-Arts Division was able to retrieved three artworks from the Department of Education (Central Office, Pasig City)
on May 23, 2012. The retrieval was coordinated with the DepEd’s Administrative Service unit and in line with the Division’s efforts to
reclaim NM artworks loaned to other government agencies. The artworks were loaned to the DepEd during the term of former Arts
Div. Curator Lucila Atacador-Salazar in the 1970s. Despite the unavailability of documentary reference stating the loan, formal
Memorandum Receipt was only acknowledged in 1996. The retrieved artworks are “Magkano Ho Ang Isang Niyog” (1977) by
Federico Estrada, “Progress in Education” (1963) by Simon Saulog, and “Itikan” (1982) by Rodolfo Roa.
Art Donations in coordination with the Director’s Office
1) “Portrait of Speaker Jose B. Laurel” (1954, oil-on-canvas) by National Artist Fernando Amorsolo from Bayani Development
Corporation
2) Untitled Sketch (View of Gendarmenmarkt in Berlin) by Dr. Jose Rizal from Ms. Aurora Ortega-Carlos
3) “Carabaos in Pink” (1951) and “Nipa Huts on Stilts” (1952) by Romeo Tabuena
from Herbert and Trudl Zipper Bequest
4) “Eshu” by Agnes Arellano from the artist herself
5) “Kapit-bisig” by Rachy Cuna from the artist himself
6) “Pagsilang” (2005, dao wood and acrylic) by Jose Duddley Diaz from the artist himself
EXTENSION SERVICES
CCP exhibit on martial rule recollection
On July 14, 2012, the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) opened ReCOLLECTION 1081: CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER (Visual
Dissent and Martial Rule). The National Museum of the Philippines expresses its support to this cultural undertaking by loaning the
painting “Justice Under Martial Law” (1980) by Orlando Castillo.
The central figure in Castillo’s painting depicts former Pres. Ferdinand Marcos, somewhat shriveled and draped with the American
flag. His right arm is raised, holds a mallet in the left hand, and light shines in his head. On the monochromatic background are
scenes that evoke military abuses, rise of insurgency, curtailment of protests, and poverty. The artwork is typical of the social realism
movement of the period.
Artworks for SONA
As part of the preparation for President Benigno Simeon S. Aquino’s State of the Nation Address (SONA) on July 23, 2012 at the
House of Representatives (HOR) in Batasan Complex, Quezon City, the Arts Division coordinated with the Presidential Legislative
Liaison’s Office (PLLO). Specifically, seven artworks from the NM visual arts collection were loaned to the PLLO office at the HOR. The
artworks featured indigenous themes.
Student Assistance
In cooperation with the Museum Education Division, the Arts Division hosted several on-the-job student trainees from the University
of the Philippines-Manila, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, and FEATI University. Moreover, the database and art books
were also opened to students who researched on Philippine art and culture.
Total no. of OJTs: 11 students
CULTURAL PROPERTIES DIVISION
Cultural Properties are priceless and exceptional assets and should be protected for the present and future generations of Filipinos.
Hence the national government has passed laws for the preservation and protection of these cultural properties to unify all Filipinos
with a deep sense of pride in their common identity, cultural heritage and national patrimony; and imbibe with the spirit of
nationalism and strong commitment to the protection and dissemination of legacy.
At the national level, the task of preserving and protecting natural and cultural properties has been assigned to the Cultural
Properties Division (CPD) of the National Museum of the Philippines (NMP) established by virtue of Republic Act 4846 as amended
by Presidential Decree 374 (Cultural Properties Preservation and Protection Act) on January 10, 1974. Since 1974, the CPD has been
involved in law enforcement; registration of cultural properties; issuance of licenses, certificates and permits; surveillance;
information dissemination; development of heritage sites; and research.
For 2012, the staff members of the Cultural Properties Division have accomplished the following:
