The excavations made at Santa Ana by Leandro and Cecilia Locsin vividly illustrate, as in the Ming-period excavations at Calatagan, the great value of Chinese pottery to the early Filipinos and the intensity of the pottery trade during the proto-historic period. At Santa Ana in a large Filipino burial site contemporary with the Sung dynasty were recovered 1, 513 pieces(!) of Chinese pottery in 202 graves. The excavations were made within the city of Manila under extremely difficult circumstances--a story in itself--and represent a major archaeological achievement in the Philippines.--pg. xiii.

Zhangzhou Ware was produced during the 16th and 17th centuries in Fujian, China. They were meant to meet the trading demands of neighboring countries in Asia. This catalog substantiates historical accounts of the Philippines as one of the thriving markets of China's ceramic trade in the late Ming period. This collection, featured in hundreds of full color photographs, clearly shows to the world the great range and variety of Zhangzhou ware shipped to the Philippines during the 16th and 17th centuries of the Ming dynasty.
