| Summary: | Since 2004, the Dewil Valley in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines has been home to the Palawan Island Palaeohistory Research Project (PIPRP). Dewil is a landscape dotted with limestone towers, each of which has their own archaeological story to tell. Excavations at Ille Cave, the main archaeological site, have revealed a changing landscape and evidence of tigers in the Philippines, 9,000-year-old cremation burials and a 300-year-old cemetery. As the longest running archaeological research project in the Philippines, PIPRP has left its own mark on the valley. They have constructed a park with an exhibit hall and an access road. However, its biggest influence lies in a new generation of youth who interact with the landscape in a different way having grown up with the archaeological research project in their midst. This book tells the archaeological research project's own heritage story. |
