Most of Novaliches pottery can be distinguished from Bau pottery and Kalanay pottery. While it shares form and decoration with Kalanay pottery, it contains more variability compared to Bau pottery. According to Solheim (2002), “it is the most sophisticated pottery that has yet been found in the Philippines”
Earthenware vessels in the Philippines were formed by two main techniques: paddle and anvil, and coiling and scraping. [2] Although a level of highly skilled craftsmanship is present in the Philippines, no evidence of kilns are found, primarily because the type of clay to be found in the archipelago can only withstand relatively low temperatures of firing.
Pottery (ceramics, clay, and folk clay sculpture) has been part of Filipino culture for about 3,500 years. [169] Notable artifacts include the Manunggul Jar (890–710 BCE) [170] and Maitum anthropomorphic pottery (5 BC-225 AD). [171] High-fired pottery was first made around 1,000 years ago, leading to a ceramic age in the Philippines. [135]

Known distribution of the Lapita culture Reconstruction of the face of a Lapita woman exhibited in the National Museum of Ethnology of Japan. The Lapita culture is the name given to a Neolithic Austronesian people and their distinct material culture, who settled Island Melanesia via a seaborne migration at around 1600 to 500 BCE.
Examination of some pottery from the Carl E. Guthe Collection developed the idea of the Kalanay pottery complex. [4] The cave was first excavated in 1951 and considerable disturbances were noted pre-excavation. In 1935, there was an earthquake which led to portions of the cave's roof to fall down and pottery scattered around the cave. [5]
The gifts, such as pottery, that are given are often reciprocated with rice in the Kalinga culture. [12] In addition, the women are responsible for the exchange of pottery that takes place outside of the household, and the amount of uncooked rice that a vessel can hold determines the value of that vessel. [12]
The process of making pots starts with the beating of clay on a wooden board with a wooden pestle. The clay is then shaped into a ball, on top of which a hole is bored. The potter inserts her hand, which holds a smooth stone, into this hole, and proceeds to enlarge the hole by turning the stone round and round the inner surface of the clay.
