As part of the University of the Philippines-Archaeological Studies Program's (UP-ASP) mission and vision to educate the public on archaeology and update them on the latest excavations, this year's field schoolers are mounting an exhibit at the Palma Hall Lobby (AS Lobby) from Sept. 6 to Sept. 9.
This year's field school, under the directorship of Dr. Grace Barretto-Tesoro, was in Pinagbayanan, San Juan, Batangas. Now on its third and last year in the same town, the excavation team unearthed a bahay na bato (mamposteria or stone house) dating to the last half of the 19th century.
A diorama was created by yours truly and by a colleague. Artifacts shall be put on display. Everyday for the duration of the exhibit, different artifacts shall be displayed according to the theme. There will also be "permanent" artifacts for public viewing.
Everyone is invited to the opening tomorrow at 4:00pm. Free food and drinks shall be served.
