Philippine Gothic Series Part II: Ancient Jar Burials


Philippine Gothic Series Part II: Ancient Jar Burials — Calatagan Excavations

A burial practice among ancient Filipinos: a supine skeleton of an infant which had been placed inside a large stoneware jar of kalong (Siamese) manufacture, found in Grave # III, Calatagan Excavations. One is reminded of that famous/infamous 1980s movie, Halimaw sa Banga!
