William Henry Scott was a historian of the Gran Cordillera Central and Prehispanic Philippines. He personally rejected the description anthropologist as applying to himself.
This is a good introduction on precolonial Philippines. W. H. Scott provided a lot of great resources on dealing with the environment, life, and social structures in early Philippine history. Scott is helpful in disproving the wave migration theory and demolishing the hoax that was the Jose E. Marco historiography. Ample materials are also presented for knowing the natives' relationship with its neighboring countries.
