| General Note |
- General note - Archaeologists have three theories on the origin of rice terracing in the Philippines. It could be (1) an indigenous practice, unique to the isolated mountain area; (2) the product of imported technology from a neighboring land such as China; (3) due to influences coming from south of the Philippines. Research shows, however, that terracing could not have come from China: the Chinese traders stayed on shore and the natives took the goods from them and brought them inland. It seems more plausible that the terrace-building practiced in the Philippines originated from Sumatra, Java, Formosa, and, perhaps, Japan (Jenks, 88-89). (See also PE01164.)
