As the above photograph illustrates, Filipinos provided the majority of labor for Guthe's excavations. Guthe hired laborers as he went and kept a minimal permanent crew, most of who were also Filipinos. Unfortunately, because our only records of the expedition come from Guthe, it is impossible to determine the motives of those who worked with Guthe. Nevertheless, it is clear that Filipinos played a crucial role in the success of Guthe's expedition. Photo Credit: U-M Library Digital Collections. Bentley Image Bank, Bentley Historical Library.
