It was Ille's Amazing Archaeology that got me to
the Dewil Valley
I joined the Palawan Island Palaeohistory Research Project in 2015 as a masters student.
The project has been based in the Dewil Valley, in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines for over two decades and most of the archaeological excavations have focused on Ille.
During my first excavation season, I explored how the local community viewed our work.
While many adults were recent migrants and felt little connection to the archaeology, local children saw it as part of their own story. This realization inspired the heritage work that became my focus.
I Collaborated with a Multidisciplinary team on
a heritage initiative
that created learning activities for local children, renovated an exhibit building, and involved stakeholders on tourism and community development discussions. The project was supported by the municipal government of El Nido,
the National Geographic Society, and numerous partners.
