Description

Roughly 500 km northeast of Manila, various shell middens can be found that consist of shells of the predominant species Batissa childreni, a freshwater clam, in highest abundance.[1] The middens are of various sizes and ages with the oldest being carbon dated to 2000 BC and youngest to 100 AD.[1] They reside on nearby hilltops and also on the immediate banks of the Cagayan River. The largest deposits of shells can be found in Magapit and Bangag in Lal-lo while the thickest shell midden is more than six feet.

Near many of the middens have been found stone implements, bones, teeth, and intricately designed pottery[1]

Declaration

This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on May 16, 2006, in the Cultural category.[1]
