Skeletons from tombs 1 and 2, Penagpatayan (Calatagan), Luzon, after 
the funerary deposit had been cleared. The two skeletons, on the back, 
extending north-south, looking in opposite directions. The limestone 
ground on both sides of the skeletons is visible in the picture. The tombs 
contained numerous ceramics. 
PLATE 3 
Lert: Part of a skeleton with the skull facing northeast, placed in a bowl. 
Some skeletal remains, placed close to the skull, give the impression 
of having been compressed in a container which has not been preserved. 
The bowl is glazed, adorned outside with misty waved lines. Diameter, 
13.5 em. Kay Tomas (Calatagan), Luzon. 
Close to the bowl was found a large, well-preserved blue and cream-

shaped flowers with their branches. The dish was in inverted position.

ware vase. Height, 14.5 cm. 
Rieut: Penagpatayan (Calatagan), Luzon. Tomb No. 4. Human bones and 
a small skull, probably that of a child. Over the bones of the thorax 
was an inverted bowl, and around the bowl fragments of a large native 
vase of red ware originally inverted to cover the bowl, which was green 
glazed and undecorated, measuring about 12 cm. in diameter.
