Philippine Trivia
The “Yawning” Jarlet of Leta-Leta Cave - t his jarlet, declared a National Cultural Treasure, is the earliest pot recovered in the country.
It has a distinct rim that resembles a shouting or yawning person, hence the name.
Discovered by Dr. Robert Fox in Leta-Leta Cave, northern Palawan in 1965, this jarlet is associated to the Late Neolithic period (approximately 1000 to 1500 BC).
It was excavated in a burial site where a stone adze, as well as other intact pieces of pottery–including a stem cup and a footed jarlet, both of which are also declared national cultural treasures–, were recovered.
