MAKE DISCOVERIES
 IN PHILIPPINES
Carl E. Guthe of University of Michigan Finishes Extensive Work

Manila, Dec. 19.-Results of the first year of a systematic archaeo- logical research in the Philippine Is- lands now are being classified by Carl E. Guthe, scientist sent out by the University of Michigan, at his island home in Cebu. The discoveries, which include Chinese as well as na- tive Philippine relics date back in some instances as much as 2,30O years, scientists believe, and are ex- pected to clarify many points in in sular history which have been be- clouded by doubt.
 During the last 12 months the scientist explored caves and ancient burial places on three islands-Boho. Samar and Cebu. Besides various na- tive skulls and antifacts, he found in them specimens of Chinese arts and handicrafts of the Tang, Sung and Ming dynasties which scientists be- lieve corroborate previous supposi- tions that for many hundreds of years the Philippines were visited by q succession of Chinese traders whose influence affected the social customs and probably the religion of the na- tiyes.
 The period of this influence is esti- mated at 1000 years, the Tang dy. nasty having flourished in the seventh century and the Ming continuing un- til the middle of the seventeenth.
New Britain herald., 1923-12-19

There are evidences that Chinese civilization during this time several times flowed over the native culture and was swept back, only to advance again.
 Three types of skulls were found by Doctor Guthe. The oldest and most primitive was associated with stone implements only. Some of these im- plements were polished axes and adzes shaped apparently for working down timbers for boats or ships. Skulls of second type were found in associa- ton with specimens of a character istic unglazed native pottery. Those of the third type, apparently much later, were found in burial places enriched with glazed Chinese pottery, bronze and iron implements and jew elry of various designs, mostly of In- dian or Japanese origin. These skulls were artificially deformed, -With flat tened foreheads.
 Dredging in the Pasig river bed to depth of about 20 feet at point below the town of Pasig yielded sev- eral jade axes and adzes, skilfully fashioned and still with good cut ting edge although more than twenty centuries had passed since the men who wielded them turned to dust. Two of the axes. now in the posses sion of Dr. H. Otley Beyer, of the University, of the Philippines. are believed to date from the fourth cen-l tury before Christ.
 Philippine anthropologists d archaeologists are awaiting with in terest the results of Doctor Guthe's classification and further exploratory activities.
