Kalanay Cave, Archaeological site in Aroroy, Masbate Island, Philippines.
The cave contains chambers with scattered pottery fragments, metal implements, and skeletal remains from ancient settlements along its northwest coastal location.
Excavations conducted in 1951 revealed pottery artifacts dating between 400 BC and AD 1500, indicating a long period of human occupation.
The pottery collection demonstrates connections to Southeast Asian trade networks, particularly with the Sa Huynh culture from Southern Vietnam.
The cave entrance requires navigation through rocky terrain, and visitors need permission from local authorities to access the archaeological site.
The blackish gray Kalanay pottery features distinctive decorative elements including curvilinear scrolls, rectangular meanders, and triangular patterns.
