In 1942, the Japanese Imperial forces landed in
Marinduque. In 1945, combined American and
Filipino troops liberated the province from the
Japanese forces. Two government agencies were
stationed in the province during the American
period, the Philippine Commonwealth Army and the
Philippine Constabulary. The general headquarters
of the PCA was active from 1935 to 1942 and again

from 1945 to 1946 while the PC was active from

Archaeology in the Philippines began in Marinduque.
Prior to 1900, only one important archaeological
investigation had been carried out in the country: the
Antoine-Alfred Marche’s exploration of Marinduque
from April to July 1881. According to anthropologist
Henry Otley Beyer, while many other accidental
discoveries and finds have been recorded from time
to time and a few burial caves
and sites had been casually
explored by European and local
scientists, no systematic work
had been done anywhere else
prior to these explorations. After
Marche, the next important
archaeological work was
undertaken by Dr. Carl Gunthe
in the Visayas Island Group in
1922.
