Lapuz Lapuz Cave, Archaeological cave in Bulabog Putian National Park, Dingle, Philippines
The Lapuz Lapuz Cave extends 90 meters in length, positioned between the Jalaur River to the south and Tambunac River to the north.
Excavations in 1977 and 1978 revealed an extensive collection of stone tools, shells, bones, and pottery fragments dating back over 760 years.
The cave contains three primary forms of ancient pottery - bowls, goblets, and cooking pots - indicating specific food preparation methods of early inhabitants.
The cave floor sediments reach depths exceeding 5 meters, containing two main layers that have undergone radiocarbon dating analysis.
Researchers discovered over 4,000 waste flakes and 263 stone tools made from cryptocrystalline quartz, demonstrating early tool manufacturing techniques.
