Archaeological study at Tung Chung

To enhance cultural exchange with Hong Kong's neighbouring countries, the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO) is conducting an archaeological study at Sha Tsui Tau, Tung Chung, Lantau, jointly with the General Office of the Shenzhen Committee for Protection of Antiquities and Monuments.

Since the project started late last month, numerous artefacts of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) have been discovered over the past weeks.

The Shenzhen team will be succeeded by another two teams from the *Guangdong Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and the Anthropology Department of the Zhong Shan University. The entire programme is scheduled to end in the middle of next month.

Note to Editors:

A site visit to the Sha Tsui Tau site has been organised for the media on Thursday (March 16) when staff members of AMO will conduct a guided tour of the excavated area.
