This paper provides a complete overview of all the known rock art sites to demonstrate the variation in motifs and techniques used in the Philippines, outline the indigenous associations, and highlight issues for conservation. In addition, new findings are introduced that include a second rock art site in Alab and previously unnoticed styles of rock art in Peñablanca. In recent years, the study of Philippine rock art has also yielded valuable contributions for archaeology both in methods and theory. Recording the rock art in challenging contexts necessitated the development of several pioneering digital methods, some low-cost, to see obfuscated rock art and expedite inventories that can be used worldwide. After reviewing the rock art in the Philippines, it is clear that the much-debated Austronesian rock art theories do not apply to these sites. A comparison of similar motifs and their contexts found in Southeast Asia and Micronesia is a starting point for developing new rock art theories in the region.

菲律宾岩画及其地域背景回顾

本文提供了所有已知岩石艺术遗址的完整概述，以展示菲律宾使用的图案和技术的变化，概述土著协会，并突出保护问题。此外，还介绍了新的发现，包括阿拉布的第二个岩石艺术遗址和佩尼亚布兰卡以前未被注意到的岩石艺术风格。近年来，菲律宾岩画的研究在方法和理论上也对考古学产生了宝贵的贡献。在具有挑战性的环境中记录岩石艺术需要开发几种开创性的数字方法，其中一些成本较低，以查看模糊的岩石艺术并加快可在全球范围内使用的库存。在回顾了菲律宾的岩画之后，很明显，备受争议的南岛岩画理论不适用于这些遗址。
