Philippine archaeology studies the ancient cultures and societies of the Philippines through artifacts, structures, and other physical remains. This field helps uncover the history of early inhabitants, their lifestyles, and interactions with neighboring regions. Significant archaeological sites include the Tabon Caves and Angono Petroglyphs, which provide insights into prehistoric life. Research in this area often involves excavations and analysis of tools, pottery, and burial sites. Findings contribute to understanding the Luzon and Visayas regions' development, as well as the influence of trade with China and Southeast Asia. This knowledge enriches the cultural heritage of the Philippines.
