Ibalon, Archaeological site in Magallanes, Philippines
The excavation area reveals ancient artifacts and structures from pre-colonial settlements along the coastline of the Bicol region in the Philippines.
The location marks the potential site of the first Catholic mass in the Bikol region during Spanish colonization efforts in southern Luzon in 1569.
Archaeological findings at the site demonstrate the trading patterns and daily routines of early Bikolano inhabitants through discovered tools and household items.
Researchers access the site through designated pathways, while protective barriers maintain the integrity of exposed archaeological layers and structural remains.
The settlement's position near water sources indicates advanced agricultural and fishing methods employed by early Philippine coastal communities.
