group undertook an archaeological excavation in Bato Caves,
Sorsogon in 1956 which yielded a burial jar and stone tool

to Solheim: "so far inland in northern Luzon has always been a
puzzle ."

Pacific Science Congress in Honolulu, attended a Philippine

the Philippine Islands, growth, development, also its current
status and problems, in December Evangelista represented the

the Philippines showing trade relations with Indian, Chinese and
Thai sources.

directors office often and saw that he was very busy in running
the museum without the official position, due to the official
director disliking Evangelista and thus preventing him from
getting promoted. Shortly after his retirement in 1991 he started
 teaching at the University of Santa Thomas. It is obvious from his
Partial Bibliography that I have been able to assemble that he
was a very talented man.
