General Note
  • General note - Located in barrio Iwaig, this cave has been named after the duyong or "sea cow" (manatee). Surface and subsurface soils yielded a secondary jar burial assemblage (circa 250 B.C.) associated with painted human bones, jade and shell ornaments, pottery, bronze and copper tools, small quadrangular adzes, and more than 5,000 bones of the "sea cow" believed to have been used as ritual offering. Center of the cave revealed a Neolithic burial (about 2250 B.C.) showing the remains of a short male lying on its face with legs beneath the body and arms along the side of the head.
