A dissertation submitted to the Graduate division of the University of Hawaii in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology

"This dissertation reexamines the evidence for historical events connected with the evolution of Philippine lowland societies. For this purpose, archaeological and ethno-historical data are used. The archaeological evidence includes data from two seasons of field work in the Basey area, southwestern Samar, as well as information from other excavations in the Philippines. The ethno-historical evidence mainly derives from two different groups of written sources: early Spanish accounts of the Philippines and Chinese historical documents dealing with trade in the South China Sea" -- page 5.
