In 1958, Fox led a National Museum team in conducting extensive excavations on two sites
at Calatagan, Batangas, in what may be considered the first systematic excavation involving
the National Museum in the country. His report, published in 1959, was based on artifacts
and information derived from 505 graves in two sites known as Kay Tomas and Pulong
Bakaw. In the 1960s, by then the head of the Anthropology Division of the National
Museum of the Philippines, he led a six-year archaeological research project in Palawan,
focusing mainly on the caves and rockshelters of Lipuun Point in the southern part of the
island (Fox 1970). Its most outstanding site is the Tabon Cave complex, the large main cave
delivered the only Pleistocene human fossils found in the Philippines to date. The fossil
finds include a skullcap, jaw bones, teeth and several other fragmented bones. Dubbed as
the "Tabon Man", the finds represent more than just one individual. Their age has been
determined using radiometric dating, giving dates between 16500 ±2000 B.P for the skull
cap and 48,000 ±11-10,000 B.P. for a tibia fragments.
